The empirical basis for this analysis is the collection of available data. Building on this, qualitative interviews are held to obtain the perspectives of various stakeholders from science, business and society, and the results compiled. Based on the findings, options are identified to define a policy framework that is conducive to innovation and thus enhances prosperity.
