Charles Edquist points out that innovations are created in innovation systems and the view that innovation arises through new research is therefore outdated. The article proposes to separate innovation from research policy to be able to formulate a forward-looking innovation policy.

Read the article in Swedish "Make innovation into a separate policy area!" at Dagens Arena, published February 13.
