Annual Report 2011: Institute for Innovation and Technology of the VDI/VDE-IT

As usual the current annual report of the Institute for Innovation and Technology (iit) offers an overview of last year’s activities. However, there are some alterations: For the first time the annual report is formulated under a special motto. In addition to the indicators and methods, which make innovations measurable, the authors offer profound information and examine the issue from different perspectives. (May, 8 2012)

The report is available in German language only.

Innovation studies and indicators. Lack of information in conditions of abundance of information

Innovationsstudien und Indikatoren. Informationsmangel in der Informationsfülle

The study presents the most important results of the project “Development of a database-assisted platform for the provision of statistical data related to innovation”, conducted jointly by VDI/VDE-IT with FiBS and NordLB/Regional Development for the BMBF. An assessment of needs showed that an increasing number of studies were being conducted on the pertinent fields of innovation which are available online, but can hardly be researched with reasonable expenditure. Nevertheless, there is a high demand for an easy and free access to the studies – often financed with public funds – on future innovation fields.
