What future for
science, technology and innovation after COVID-19?
|
|
The COVID-19 crisis may bring lasting
socioeconomic changes, also affecting science, technology and innovation (STI). This paper discusses the effects that
the COVID-19 crisis could have on the
future of STI and its policies, building on lessons learned
from past crises, an analysis of diverse sources of early data and insights from expert discussions
in international policy fora. Factors shaping
the future of STI include the unequal
effects of the crisis on R&D spending across sectors, the accelerated adoption of digital tools and techniques, and changes in the openness and inclusiveness of research and innovation ecosystems. The paper also
explores how STI policy could experience fundamental changes as resilience, environmental sustainability and inclusiveness become more prominent objectives on policy agendas. This includes experimentation
with new data and digital tools
for policy purposes and unconventional policy approaches, which could spur
the adoption of new and
more effective STI policies.
