Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy by G. Bruce Doern,David Castle,Peter W.B. Phillips Pdf

Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy presents new critical analysis about related developments in the field such as significantly changed concepts of peer review, merit review, the emergence of big data in the digital age, and the rise of an economy and society dominated by the internet and information. The authors scrutinize the different ways in which federal and provincial policies have impacted both levels of government, including how such policies impact on Canada’s natural resources. They also study key government departments and agencies involved with science, technology, and innovation to show how these organizations function increasingly in networks and partnerships, as Canada seeks to keep up and lead in a highly competitive global system. The book also looks at numerous realms of technology across Canada in universities, business, and government and various efforts to analyze biotechnology, genomics, and the Internet, as well as earlier technologies such as nuclear reactors, and satellite technology. The authors assess whether a science-and-technology-centred innovation economy and society has been established in Canada – one that achieves a balance between commercial and social objectives, including the delivery of public goods and supporting values related to redistribution, fairness, and community and citizen empowerment. Probing the nature of science advice across prime ministerial eras, including recent concerns over the Harper government’s claimed muzzling of scientists in an age of attack politics, Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy provides essential information for academics and practitioners in business and government in this crucial and complex field.

Ideas, Institutions, and Interests by Peter W. B. Phillips,David Castle Pdf

"Canada's thirteen provinces and territories are significant actors in Canadian society, directly shaping cultural, political, and economic domains. Regions also play a key role in creating diversity within innovative activity. The role of provinces and territories in setting science, technology, and innovation policy is, however, notably underexplored. Ideas, Institutions, and Interests examines each province and territory to offer real-world insights into the complexity and opportunities of regionally differentiated innovation policy in a pan-continental system. Contributing scholars detail the distinctive ways in which provinces and territories articulate ideas and interests through their institutions, programs, and policies. Many of the contributing authors have engaged first-hand with either micro- or macro-level policy innovation and are innovation leaders in their own right, providing invaluable perspectives on the topic. Exploring the vital role of provinces in the last thirty years of science, technology, and innovation policy development and implementation, Ideas, Institutions, and Interests is an insightful book that places innovation policy in the context of multilevel governance."--

Canada's National System of Innovation by Jorge Niosi,Benoit Godin,André Manseau Pdf

Using data in questionnaire responses from large research and development organizations, Niosi (administration, L'Universite de Quebec a Montreal) looks at the history and current status of Canadian research universities, government laboratories, and policies designed to nurture technical and organizational innovation in private firms, academia, and government agencies. He concludes that Canada has been quite successful in creating a national system of innovation and that the federal government, through its initiatives and techniques, has been the main factor in creating the system.

Science Policy by Steering Committee and Workshop on Subnational Science Policy Pdf

In Canada, science is as much a provincial endeavour as it is a national one. Science has the potential to inform policy development and enhance public welfare in areas such as security, health, the environment, education, and social policy. Investments in science can create new economic opportunities and help develop the knowledge and social capital of specific regions. Realizing these benefits, however, requires effective science policies across all levels of government. To inform ongoing work relating to provincial science policy, the Alberta Government asked the Council of Canadian Academies to convene an expert workshop to identify key considerations for science policies relevant to subnational jurisdictions, and specifically to Canadian provinces. The workshop, held November 21-22, 2016 in Canmore, Alberta, brought together perspectives from academia, government, research institutions, and industry. The final report of the Workshop Steering Committee, Science Policy: Considerations for Subnational Governments, is an insightful, high-quality study that identifies key considerations for the development of science policies and is intended to be used as a roadmap to guide conversations and inform decision-making about science policies at the subnational level.

State of the Nation 2008 by Anonim Pdf

Drivers of our innovation success include: •. a private sector that has science, technology, and innovation strategies at its core; •. institutions of education and research that develop, recruit, and retain strong talent pools; and •. researchers who keep us at the forefront of knowledge and workers who see and act on opportunities to work smarter and more creatively. [...] Canada remains in the middle of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) pack of 30 countries and sixth in the G-7 in business R&D as a proportion of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). [...] Curiosity and the thirst for knowledge, the desire to succeed in the marketplace, better services for Canadians, better stewardship of our environment and resources, and realizing our full potential, motivate individuals, institutions of learning, businesses and government. [...] The Competition Policy Review Panel linked much of Canada's poor productivity performance to the comparatively poor performance of Canadian companies in the creation, diffusion and transformation of knowledge and the use of knowledge through commercialization. [...] Greater cooperation and collaboration between the private sector, universities and colleges, all levels of government, and others8 at the regional and national levels strengthen a nation's ability to compete at the international level.

Paradox Lost: Explaining Canada’s Research Strength and Innovation Weakness by Council of Canadian Academies Pdf

"The Council of Canadian Academies (the Council) has, since 2006, completed seven expert panel assessments analyzing in great depth Canada's performance in science and technology (S&T) and innovation. This document synthesizes the main findings of that work, from which two main conclusions emerge: Canadian academic research, overall, is strong and well regarded internationally; Canadian business innovation, by contrast, is weak by international standards, and this is the primary cause of Canada's poor productivity growth"--Executive summary.
