The UNU-MERIT course on the Design and Evaluation of Innovation Policies in Developing countries (DEIP) is an intensive one week course for policy makers in science, technology and innovation policy in developing countries and for participants from the private sector involved in strategic decision-making about technology and innovation. The programme aims to meet the growing demand from developing countries for support in analysing the latest technological developments and designing appropriate responses and policies tailored to their specific development contexts.
The target population of the course consists of senior and middle level officials of Ministries of Science and Technology, Ministries of Industry, Ministries of Economic Affairs and other technology supporting institutions as well as representatives from the private sector involved in science and technology policy issues
The course focuses on the theory and practice of innovation policy, on policy design, policy implementation, on the measurement and monitoring of innovative performance and on the evaluation of the outcomes of innovation policies.
The course was first offered in 2004 and has proven to meet an important need. We are now entering the 7th year of this successful programme. We have offered the course in Maastricht seven times and have held eight courses in developing countries including India, Jordan, Argentina, Mauritius Nigeria, Uruguay and El Salvador. The course now has some 600 alumni. In December 2009, we organised a video conference version of the course for participants in Islamabad in Pakistan. For 2010 the courses are planned: in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (February), Jakarta, Indonesia, Dakar, Senegal and Ankara, Turkey.
Courses are planned jointly with host organisations in developing countries. Applications for the organisation of a course after 2010 can be sent to the secretary of the training courses:
