VINNOVA Core Funding of Centers for Innovation Systems Research
In connection with a VINNOVA (The Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems) call for a new round of funding of centers of excellence, innovation research centers in Sweden were evaluated by international peers in June 2010. The call concerned research on innovation/innovation systems/innovation policies, research on entrepreneurship/SMEs and research on the organization, economics and policy of R&D. CIRCLE was ranked number one of nine innovation research centers and was given the highest grade (5) for research. Grade 5 means “Outstanding, at the forefront of international research”. The comment of the evaluators was “This is an internationally eminent group addressing the main questions at the leading edge of innovation systems/innovation policy research with potentially strong policy implications.” As a direct consequence of this evaluation, CIRCLE has been awarded a six-year grant from VINNOVA (with matching funding from Lund University).
