The Purpose • To strengthen innovation research in Brics countries • To understand Brics’ innovation systems and especially how innovation activities affect socio-economic performance by comparing the five countries. • To understand globalisation as it is shaped by the evolution of Brics-countries • To promote policy learning across BRICS countries.

  5. The Method • Bringing together already existing information and knowledge in a comparative perspective. • Initiate new parallel research where important knowledge is lacking. • Work out outline of a final report covering the central issues.
