The Innovation Policy Award

Innovation Policy refers to policies and public strategies, regulations, and initiatives aimed at promoting the development, diffusion, and application of new ideas, technologies, products, and services. It seeks to enhance capacity for innovation to drive economic growth, competitiveness, and social well-being. Innovation policy encompasses support for research and development (R&D), entrepreneurship and education, digital infrastructure, social innovation and collaboration between industry, academia, and government.

The Science for Policy Award

Science for Policy refers to the use of scientific knowledge, evidence, and expertise to inform and support decision-making in public policy. It involves translating complex scientific research into accessible insights that can guide the development, implementation, and evaluation of policies across various sectors, including (but not limited to) health, environment, technology, security, education, justice. Science for policy emphasizes evidence-based policymaking, where decisions are grounded in reliable data and research and knowledge rather than opinion or ideology.
