Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISIShaping transformations from below: How mission-oriented policies can succeed at a sub-national level (MOIP Regional)
Numerous research and innovation policy projects were announced in the federal government's 2021-2025 coalition agreement "Daring more progress". In particular, the postulated modernisation goals and the targeted addressing of societal challenges – especially in the areas of climate protection and sustainability – of the coalition appeared to be of particular relevance. In addition to other central projects, the "mission-oriented" development of the high-tech strategy, the various funding programs and departmental research were mentioned in order to adequately address the major societal challenges.
Until now, mission-oriented policy approaches have been discussed primarily at national and supranational levels. However, it can be assumed that this policy approach includes diverse opportunities at the sub-national level for addressing specific transformation requirements. This is the starting point for the scientific study "Shaping transformation from below".
The project builds on our own extensive work on mission-oriented innovation policy (in particular on the accompanying research for the High-Tech Strategy), is closely linked to the projects on mission agencies, "Designing mission policy effectively" and "Implementing mission policy effectively") and establishes links to findings from region-oriented innovation research.
