Systems based methods for research & innovation policy: How can they contribute to designing R&I policy for transitions?

The study aims to provide evidence of system methods that can be used in the policy cycle to address complexity and support systemic transitions through transformative innovation policy. To do so the study provides a review of system methods and an evaluation of their application and added value at the different stages of the policy cycle. It concludes with key some recommendations on how to ensure the uptake of system methods in the R&I policy cycle.
