Denmark is currently one of the few EU Member States to have reached Europe’s 2020 target for R&D intensity, 3% of GDP, and has the ambition to become a world leader in turning research into innovation – optimising its system for knowledge-based innovation for the benefit of society as a whole.

Based on the Danish Government’s national strategy for research and innovation, ‘Denmark – Ready to Seize Future Opportunities’ (December 2017), the Danish Minister of Higher Education and Science has asked the Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility to carry out a ‘Peer Review of Denmark’s Research and Innovation (R&I) System’.

PSF experts visited Denmark for their first fact-finding mission on 4-7 March, and will work until the end of Summer to assess how Denmark can best organise its efforts on knowledge-based innovation in line with international best practices. The panel will then provide concrete recommendations on how to build the most effective bridges between research-based knowledge and its application in business and society.
