Abstract By deciding to condition the access of research organizations to its €95.5 billion Horizon Europe funding programme (2021–7) on providing evidence of a gender equality plan, the European Commission has made the challenge of certifying the gender equality performance of research organizations extremely urgent, not least to avoid the risk that such plans become a mere formality (‘box-ticking’). This challenge should not be underestimated, considering the extremely complex nature of the dynamics surrounding gender equality. In this article, we analyse the feasibility of establishing a European certification scheme that would assess gender equality policies and outcomes of research organizations, and present four alternative scenarios for its set-up, co-created with a wide range of stakeholders in a participatory step-by-step process. The results of the two-stage validation process of the four scenarios are also presented, providing policy implications and recommendations to support the effective roll-out of the certification schemes.
欧盟委员会决定以提供性别平等计划的证据为条件,限制研究组织获得其955亿欧元的“地平线欧洲”资助计划(2021-7),从而使证明研究组织性别平等表现的挑战变得极其紧迫,尤其是为了避免这些计划成为纯粹形式(“打勾”)的风险。考虑到围绕性别平等的动态极其复杂,不应低估这一挑战。在本文中,我们分析了建立一个欧洲认证计划的可行性,该计划将评估研究组织的性别平等政策和成果,并为其建立提出了四种替代方案,这些方案是与广泛的利益相关者在参与性的逐步过程中共同创建的。本文还介绍了四种情景的两阶段验证过程的结果,提供了政策影响和建议,以支持有效推出认证计划。

Abstract Biometric technology encompasses a proliferating array of data forms, applications, and stakeholders but has raised numerous social and ethical concerns. This article examines contending perceptions of biometrics by developing a three-way framework of science–society orderings, drawn from social studies of biometrics and wider science studies literature. By analysing documentary sources and participant observation data through this framework, the article identifies a series of distinct normative interpretations or imaginaries of biometrics. It is argued that these imaginaries, described, respectively, as ‘public good’, ‘collective control’, and ‘societal risks’, project contending normative framings of science–society relations. These imaginaries were also however found to reflexively encompass perceived challenges, giving rise to practices that I term imaginative politics. These findings raise the need for science policy studies to consider the distinction between imagining and realizing in greater depth and to consider more profoundly the politics of science–society co-production.
生物识别技术包含了大量的数据形式、应用和利益相关者,但也引起了许多社会和伦理问题。本文从生物识别的社会研究和更广泛的科学研究文献中,通过开发一个科学-社会秩序的三方框架,研究了生物识别的争议观念。通过这一框架分析文献来源和参与者观察数据,本文确定了一系列不同的规范解释或生物识别的想象。有人认为,这些想象分别被描述为“公共利益”、“集体控制”和“社会风险”,它们描绘了科学与社会关系的规范性框架。然而,这些想象也被发现反射性地包含了感知到的挑战,产生了我称之为想象政治的实践。这些发现表明,科学政策研究需要更深入地考虑想象和实现之间的区别,并更深刻地考虑科学与社会共同生产的政治。

Abstract This paper investigates gender bias (if any) when teams are formed. We use data from the European Science Foundation to estimate if female scientists have the same opportunities as their male colleagues to join a team when applying for funds. To assess gender bias, we construct a control group of scientists with the competencies for being invited to join the team but who do not join. By comparing the proportion of female scientists in the control group with the one in the observed teams, we find a gender bias against female scientists. Exploring heterogeneity across teams, we find that gender bias is less pronounced in teams led by women, junior scientists, and in more recently formed teams. We also observe differences across disciplines.
摘要:本文研究了团队组建过程中的性别偏见(如果存在的话)。我们使用欧洲科学基金会(European Science Foundation)的数据来估计,在申请基金时,女性科学家是否与男性同事有同样的机会加入一个团队。为了评估性别偏见,我们构建了一个控制组,由具有被邀请加入团队的能力但没有加入的科学家组成。通过对比对照组和观察组中女科学家的比例,我们发现了对女科学家的性别偏见。在研究团队的异质性时,我们发现性别偏见在女性领导的团队、初级科学家和新成立的团队中不那么明显。我们也观察到不同学科之间的差异。

Abstract During the Covid-19 pandemic, many governments have resorted to scientific advisory bodies to aid in public health decision-making. What then has been the public’s perception of those new structures of scientific advice? In this article, we draw on a survey conducted in November 2020 among a representative sample of the French adult population (n = 1,004) designed specifically to explore public perceptions of the dedicated Covid-19 Scientific Council created in March 2020 and of scientific advice in general. After only 8 months, three-quarters of French people said they had heard of it, but only a quarter had a positive opinion about its usefulness. Despite the diversity of perceptions of what scientific advice is and should be, it appeared that scientific advice bodies are perceived as useful mainly by a public already largely supportive of the delegation of the management of public life to the government and public institutions.
在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,许多政府都求助于科学咨询机构来帮助公共卫生决策。那么,公众对这些科学建议的新结构的看法是什么呢?在本文中,我们利用了2020年11月在法国成年人口的代表性样本(n = 1004)中进行的一项调查,该调查专门用于探索公众对2020年3月成立的专门的Covid-19科学委员会和一般科学建议的看法。仅仅8个月后,四分之三的法国人说他们听说过它,但只有四分之一的人对它的实用性持积极态度。尽管对科学建议是什么和应该是什么有不同的看法,但似乎科学建议机构主要被公众认为是有用的,而公众已经在很大程度上支持将公共生活的管理委托给政府和公共机构。

Abstract Research and Development (R&D) grants are one of the most commonly employed programmes by regional, national, and European governments to promote innovation at the firm level. This study contributes to the existing literature on innovation policy mix by investigating whether combinations of the three funding sources can yield positive effects on various measurements of innovation outcomes. Using a panel of 10,045 Spanish firms from 2004 to 2016 and a flexible conditional difference-in-differences approach, our findings reveal that R&D grants funded by European sources exert the most substantial positive impact on firms’ product and process innovations. Conversely, national funding demonstrates this impact on new-to-market innovations and patent applications. Notably, the positive effect on innovation outcomes is evident only when considering the combination of all three distinct funding schemes and the amalgamation of regional and national R&D grants. These results reject the possibility of substitutive effects among different funding schemes, particularly between regional and national institutions.
研究与开发(R&D)资助是地区、国家和欧洲政府最常用的项目之一,用于促进企业层面的创新。本研究通过考察三种资金来源的组合是否会对创新结果的各种测量产生积极影响,对现有的创新政策组合文献做出了贡献。利用2004年至2016年的10,045家西班牙公司和灵活的条件差异方法,我们的研究结果表明,由欧洲来源资助的研发资助对公司的产品和工艺创新产生了最实质性的积极影响。相反,国家资助对新进入市场的创新和专利申请产生了影响。值得注意的是,只有在考虑所有三种不同的资助计划的组合以及区域和国家研发资助的合并时,对创新成果的积极影响才明显。这些结果排除了不同供资方案之间,特别是区域和国家机构之间存在替代效应的可能性。

From responsibility to risk: ethics in the Bermuda Triangle of EU research and innovation policy 从责任到风险:欧盟研究和创新政策百慕大三角中的伦理

Abstract This paper aims to trace how the meaning of ethics in the research and innovation (R&I) sector is discursively and procedurally revised within two consecutive modes of legitimizing public policies in the European Union (EU), namely, good governance and better regulation. The text draws insight from Ernesto Laclau’s work on discursivity, contingency, and hegemony and Chantal Mouffe’s critique of consensual political theories. It shows that with the policy transition from responsible innovation to breakthrough and disruptive innovation, the possibilities to employ ethics in interrogating the ambiguous nature of science and technology advancement become very limited. Ethics is currently construed as a means for unclogging the innovation process and embracing the collective production of risks. The paper demonstrates that the recent emptying of ethics within EU R&I is an expected effect of hegemonization practices and discursive configurations promoting and stabilizing the science–market alliance in science and policy relations.
摘要本文旨在追溯在欧盟公共政策合法化的两种连续模式中,即善治和更好的监管,伦理在研究与创新领域的意义是如何在话语和程序上得到修正的。本文借鉴了埃内斯托·拉克劳关于话语性、偶然性和霸权的著作,以及尚塔尔·墨菲对共识政治理论的批判。研究表明,随着政策从负责任创新向突破性创新和颠覆性创新的转变,运用伦理学来质疑科技进步的模糊性的可能性变得非常有限。伦理目前被解释为疏通创新过程和接受风险集体产生的一种手段。本文论证了近年来欧盟r&d内部的伦理空降化是在科学与政策关系中促进和稳定科学-市场联盟的霸权化实践和话语配置的预期结果。

Abstract Recent scholarship emphasizes the need for mission-oriented innovation policies (MOIPs) to tackle grand challenges and the importance of dynamic capabilities in innovation agencies for their implementation. However, the development of dynamic capabilities in innovation agencies, especially in relation to the legal and institutional design of such agencies, remains understudied. We propose a framework integrating research on innovation policy, dynamic capabilities, and legal institutionalism, adapting the three high-order dynamic capabilities—sense, seize, and transform—into nine more concrete low-order capabilities for implementation of MOIPs. We also look at rules and institutional design related to five groups of routines affecting the development of dynamic capabilities: (1) governance, (2) organizational design, (3) budget and finance, (4) public procurement and partnerships, and (5) human resources. We conclude by outlining the analytical and policy implications for (re)designing innovation agencies to implement MOIPs.
最近的学术研究强调了以任务为导向的创新政策(moip)的必要性,以应对重大挑战,以及创新机构动态能力对其实施的重要性。但是,在创新机构中发展动态能力,特别是在这些机构的法律和体制设计方面,仍然没有得到充分的研究。我们提出了一个整合创新政策、动态能力和法律制度主义研究的框架,将感知、抓住和转化这三种高阶动态能力转化为9种更具体的低阶能力,以促进创新合作伙伴关系的实施。我们还研究了与影响动态能力发展的五组惯例相关的规则和制度设计:(1)治理,(2)组织设计,(3)预算和财务,(4)公共采购和伙伴关系,以及(5)人力资源。最后,我们概述了(重新)设计创新机构以实施moip的分析和政策含义。

Abstract Many early career researchers (ECRs) currently face long odds of attaining a full-time or tenure-track research position. Populations of graduate and postdoctoral researchers have continually increased, without concomitant increases in tenure-track jobs or stable research careers. The current hypercompetitive academic labor market is societally inefficient and often inhumane to ECRs, commonly characterized by precarious, exploitative, and/or uncertain employment terms. Compounding generational disadvantages endured by many ECRs at work, analysis of worldwide data on housing rental costs reveals that escalating costs of living are an especially acute problem for ECRs, since major research universities tend to be located in expensive cities. The unfavorable plight of today’s ECRs can be partly attributed to the disproportionate zero-sum distribution of resources to senior academics, particularly of the baby boomer generation. The uncertainty, precariousness, and hypercompetitiveness of ECR academic labor markets undermine the quantity and quality of scientific innovations, both in the present and in the future.
许多早期职业研究人员(ecr)目前面临着获得全职或终身研究职位的渺茫机会。研究生和博士后研究人员的数量在不断增加,但并没有伴随着终身职位或稳定的研究职业的增加。当前竞争激烈的学术劳动力市场在社会上效率低下,对ecr来说往往是不人道的,通常以不稳定、剥削和/或不确定的就业条件为特征。对全球住房租赁成本数据的分析显示,生活成本不断上升是许多ecr在工作中所承受的代际劣势,这使其雪上加霜。因为主要的研究型大学往往位于物价昂贵的城市,因此生活成本上升是ecr面临的一个特别严重的问题。今天ecr的不利处境可以部分归因于高级学者(尤其是婴儿潮一代)的资源不成比例的零和分配。ECR学术劳动力市场的不确定性、不稳定性和高竞争力削弱了科学创新的数量和质量,无论是在现在还是未来。

Abstract The evolution of science, technology, and innovation Policy (STIP) studies has been marked by the emergence and decline of various intellectual streams regarding the innovation process and the role of government. These streams are known as STIP generations or paradigms and have undergone changes in perspective on innovation across different historical periods. This article aims to provide a clear understanding of how the themes explored in STIP studies have evolved over different STIP generations. To this end, a dataset of the most cited research documents from 1975 to 2022 was studied using a mix of bibliometric and thematic analyses. The result reveals that the STIP literature has undergone three distinct but interrelated dimensions of evolution: the nature and process of innovation have shifted from a simple linear process to an interactive and complex one; the innovation agenda has expanded to include economic, social, and environmental goals; and perspectives on the governance of innovation have shifted from a centralized mode to a participatory and reflexive one. The conceptual framework developed in this research compares STIP generations in terms of the aforementioned three dimensions and shows that recent intellectual generations have a broader perspective than early generations across all three dimensions.
科学、技术与创新政策(STIP)研究的演变以各种关于创新过程和政府角色的知识流的兴起和衰落为标志。这些流被称为创新技术创新方案世代或范式,并在不同的历史时期经历了创新视角的变化。本文旨在提供一个清晰的理解,在不同的STIP世代中,STIP研究中探索的主题是如何演变的。为此,使用文献计量学和主题分析相结合的方法,研究了1975年至2022年被引用最多的研究文件的数据集。结果表明:科技创新文献经历了三个不同但又相互关联的演变维度:创新的性质和过程从简单的线性过程转变为互动的复杂过程;创新议程已扩大到包括经济、社会和环境目标;创新治理的视角也从集中式转向参与式和反思式。本研究开发的概念框架在上述三个维度上对STIP世代进行了比较,并表明最近的知识分子世代在所有三个维度上都比早期的世代拥有更广阔的视角。

This article aims to provide a clear understanding of how the themes explored in STIP studies have evolved over different STIP generations. To this end, a dataset of the most cited research documents from 1975 to 2022 was studied using a mix of bibliometric and thematic analyses. The result reveals that the STIP literature has undergone three distinct but interrelated dimensions of evolution: the nature and process of innovation have shifted from a simple linear process to an interactive and complex one; the innovation agenda has expanded to include economic, social, and environmental goals; and perspectives on the governance of innovation have shifted from a centralized mode to a participatory and reflexive one. The conceptual framework developed in this research compares STIP generations in terms of the aforementioned three dimensions and shows that recent intellectual generations have a broader perspective than early generations across all three dimensions.","PeriodicalId":47975,"journal":{"name":"Science and Public Policy","volume":"14 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136178141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract Smart Specialization policy, Europe’s place-based innovation policy, is transitioning into an innovation policy for sustainability inspired by academic debate and the urgency of societal challenges. The implications in terms of policy design remain underexplored. This paper studies the policy implications of this transition on the design of monitoring indicators. First, a theoretical framework based on the literature is created. Then, monitoring indicators used in the first policy phase are summarized into categories and themes through inductive and deductive document analysis. The indicators’ strengths and limitations are discussed. By highlighting how monitoring indicators need to adjust to the policy transition, this paper contributes to the literature on innovation policy and Smart Specialization. It also provides guidance to policymakers by developing a framework on indicator design and providing practical recommendations on aspects that need to be considered, captured, and analysed through the indicators.
智能专业化政策是欧洲基于地方的创新政策,受到学术辩论和社会挑战紧迫性的启发,正在向可持续发展的创新政策过渡。政策设计方面的影响仍未得到充分探讨。本文研究了这一转变对监测指标设计的政策影响。首先,在文献基础上构建理论框架。然后,通过归纳和演绎文献分析,将第一政策阶段使用的监测指标归纳为类别和主题。讨论了指标的优势和局限性。通过强调监测指标需要如何适应政策转变,本文为创新政策和智能专业化的文献做出了贡献。它还通过制定指标设计框架,并就需要通过指标考虑、捕捉和分析的方面提出实际建议,为政策制定者提供指导。
