12:00-13:15 Plenary 2: Scope and limits of indicator use by STI policy Room 1: Refter Innovation is a complex machine, involving several actors and linkages, working differently

in different contexts and locations. This session will discuss to what extent policy makers use indicators to understand their science and innovation system, monitor improvements in the way it works, and assess the consequences of their own policies. In particular: can indicators conceived for measurement at a high level of aggregation be used to influence behaviour at a more micro level? To what extent can a plurality of indicators be synthesised into a handful or in a single composite index? Are there any alternatives? Are impact indicators of innovation being used as an (imperfect) substitute for analysis of impact and quantitative policy evaluation? How can researchers and data providers best support the evidence needs of science and innovation decision makers and deliver suitable indicators? Moderator: Luis Sanz Menéndez, CSIC Institute of Public Goods and Policies, Spain Keynote remarks: Stephen Curry, Imperial College, London Panellists:  Wolfgang Polt, Joanneum Research Forschungsges.m.b.H., Austria  Charles Edquist, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark  Dániel Vértesy, Joint Research Centre of the European Commission  Frédérique Sachwald, Observatoire des Sciences et des Techniques (OST), France 13:15-14:30 Lunch

14:30-15:45 Plenary 3: Towards more inclusive science and innovation indicators Room 1: Refter There is a broad perception that we lack robust theories and measures that map the ways

in which societies seek and adopt novel ideas to address their major challenges. This session will address the reasons why progress in this area of measurement has been limited and what changes and improvements are on the horizon. In this context, can indicators be developed that capture science and innovation in a broader set of environments, such as research areas outside the mainstream, socially excluded groups, local realities, developing world, users and users communities? What policy processes would enable adoption of these new indicators? Is it possible to measure the culture of innovation in a society and its relevance to inclusive and sustainable growth? Can indicators be used to promote socially responsible and inclusive research and innovation policies, practices and outcomes? Are there any relevant examples that can be recommended for broader international adoption? Moderator: Monica Salazar, Inter-American Development Bank Panellists:  Eric von Hippel, MIT Sloan School of Management, United States  Ismael Ràfols, Universitat Politècnica de Valencia, Spain  Cassidy R.

Eric von Hippel is a Professor of Technological Innovation in the MIT Sloan School of Management. His research focuses on open and distributed innovation. Much of this innovation, he and his colleagues find, is distributed for free. Relevant to the concerns of Blue Sky III, it therefore is not captured by current Oslo Manual indicators that require that an innovation “be introduced to the market” to be recognised as an innovation. The increasing role of “free” household sector innovation, and needed improvements to innovation indicators are discussed in a forthcoming book by von Hippel, “Free Innovation" (MIT Press 2016). When published, it will be available for free download under a Creative Commons license from: https://evhippel.mit.edu/books/.

He develops methods to map and measure interdisciplinary research, knowledge exchange and societal contributions of science (the so-called "impact" agenda).

Cassidy R. Sugimoto conducts research within the domain of scholarly communication and scientometrics, examining the formal and informal ways in which knowledge is produced, disseminated, and consumed. She has published nearly 70 journal articles and co-edited four monographs on this topic and has presented at numerous conferences. Her work has received funding from the National Science Foundation, Institute for Museum and Library Services, and the Sloan Foundation, among other organizations.

9:00-9:45 Blue Sky keynote lecture: Scott Stern, MIT Sloan School of Management, United States

9:45-11:00 Plenary 4: Science and innovation policy-making in an era of Big Data Room 1: Refter

Decisions made by science and innovation policy makers, public agencies, university

administrators, and many others increasingly leave a digital trace that can be used to help improve the basis of such decisions. Many countries are implementing quantitative and qualitative data infrastructures to support more evidence-based STI policy-making. Some of these are initiated as part of broader open government and big data initiatives, while others are more specific to the STI policy domain. Is science and innovation policy a suitable domain for the application of big data analytics? What is the state of the art? What are the emerging opportunities and limitations of these new tools and techniques? And what are the standards and best practices that governments can promote to ensure greater availability of evidence for decision making?

11:30-13:00 Plenary 5: New models and tools for measuring science and innovation impacts Room 1: Refter Decision makers wish to understand the likely impacts of their actions in complex and

uncertain environments. Measurement and attribution of impacts can be hampered by long lead times, an unknown degree of diffusion, as well as the need to account for systemic effects and actions by several actors. After 10 years of science for science and innovation policy initiatives, what models and tools are being successfully applied in order to improve our understanding of science and innovation impacts? To what extent are the implications of quantitative modelling taken into account in policy decisions? Also, what data and infrastructures are needed to “calibrate” and assess the performance of science and innovation models? What approaches can be used to facilitate the visualisation and understanding of impacts, beyond traditional “positioning” indicators?

14:30-15:45 Plenary 6: New data and frontier tools: the challenge for official statistics in science and innovation Room 1: Refter Traditional business models everywhere are being disrupted. Is that also the case for the

production of science and innovation statistics? This session will discuss how national statistical organisations (NSOs) cope with the fragmentation of science and innovation data among several governmental agencies and private repositories. It will also consider the emergence of new data sources, data gathering and analysis tools such as web scraping, natural language processing of unstructured data, online surveys. In this context, are NSOs embracing and leveraging these new tools and testing their performance, or are they leaving them for other actors to exploit? Are traditional NSO products such as survey data becoming less attractive to users, or do they remain instead unique and distinctive sources of intelligence? Ten years from now, what types of science and innovation statistics will be produced by NSOs? Moderator: Paul Schreyer, OECD, Statistics Directorate Keynote remarks: Jeff Chen, Chief Data Scientist, US Department of Commerce Panellists:  Michail Skaliotis, European Commission, Eurostat  Dominik Rozkrut, Central Statistical Office,  Haig McCarrell, Statistics Canada  Elisabeth Kremp, National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE), France.

8:15-9:00 Registration and networking

9:00-10:15 Plenary 7: Looking forward: What data infrastructures and partnerships? Room 1: Refter Data infrastructures underpinning policy making can all too easily be taken for granted. As

the focus turns to “killer charts”, headline indicators or tweets, is there a risk of underinvesting in resource intensive STI datasets, in their integration with other statistical infrastructures and in making them more widely available to address a variety of purposes? The recent trend in the codification and opening of government data also provides an opportunity for understanding how science and innovation takes place and trace its impacts. What opportunities do new digital technologies offer for developing next-generation infrastructures? Data from commercial or non-profit platforms are now beginning to provide new insights on key scientific and innovation processes. How can such disparate sources be brought together? This session will discuss what can be done to develop and turn STI data infrastructures of all types into more relevant and user-friendly tools for decision makers.
