This learning history report was produced by TIPC in 2022 and 2023 to document and reflect on the collaborative experiences of policymakers, practitioners, and researchers involved in early Transformative Innovation Policy experiments across several countries. The authors capture insights from policy engagements and learning spaces across different regions (including Europe, Africa, and Latin America) to … from Minding the gap between policymakers and researchers: The TIPC transformative learning history

Experimenting with Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP) is critical to find new and better ways of contributing to a Green Transition. This policy brief draws on theoretical and practical perspectives of TIP informed policy experimentation and makes six recommendations that suggest how European research and innovation policy making can be improved by it.   … from Experimenting with transformative innovation policy: Theoretical and practical perspectives

This short policy brief outlines three distinct innovation policy frames that have shaped how governments and institutions support innovation over time: Frame 1 (dominant from the 1960s to 1980s) focuses on R&D and regulation, assuming innovation follows a linear path from research to economic growth. Frame 2 (from the 1990s to today) shifts to national … from Policy brief: The Three Frames of Innovation

This brief introduces the value of a shared vocabulary for participants with different experience and prior understandings working together on experimentation, drawing on the experiences of TIPC members during the pilot phase of the Consortium. It provides a glossary of fundamental vocabulary with examples, along with application of the vocabulary to experimentation and the case … from Introducing vocabulary for TIP experimentation (case study research)

It explains the meaning of experimentation as part of a transformative approach, aims of experimentation, other associated key concepts and some of the main characteristics that can help to define an experiment.   … from Concept note on experimentation in Transformative Innovation Policy (English version)

This TIPC policy brief outlines a emerging approach to assessing transformative innovation policies, which aim to address deep social and environmental challenges. It argues that traditional evaluation methods are insufficient for experimental, system‑changing policies and advocates for a formative, participatory, and learning‑oriented evaluation. Key principles include integrating evaluation with policy design and implementation, using diverse … from Key principles for a formative evaluation of Transformative Innovation Policy

This research policy brief argues that achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires a fundamental transformation of science, technology and innovation (STI) policy, not merely mainstreaming the goals into existing frameworks. It presents a Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP) approach that emphasises socio‑technical systems thinking to address the deep interconnections and trade‑offs among SDGs, advocates … from Addressing the Sustainable Development Goals through Transformative Innovation Policy
