I3U Commitment 27 A Public Sector Innovation Scoreboard B Research Programme on Public Sector and Social Innovation Marta Mackiewicz, WERI-SGH, mmackie@sgh.waw.pl This project is co-funded by the European Union
Commitment 27 "Starting in 2011, the Commission will support a substantial research programme on public sector and social innovation, looking at issues such as measurement and evaluation, financing and other barriers to scaling up and development. As an immediate step, it will pilot a European Public Sector Innovation Scoreboard as a basis for further work to benchmark public sector innovation. It will explore with Member States whether it is appropriate to bring together new learning experiences and networks for public sector leaders at European level."
Causal relationships reflecting the impact of Commitment 27 H2: The use of good practice and benchmarking will result in a better performance of institutions and organisations limited understanding of the importance of social and public sector innovation financing research on social and public innovation dissemination of know-how and good practice benchmarking better performance of institutions and organisations increased competitiveness H1: Financing research on social innovation and public sector innovation will facilitate the dissemination of know-how and good practice
