Therefore, policymakers must ensure that the combination of policies related to various parts of the system is balanced and that interventions across the entire innovation system are coordinated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quantitative data and analysis, as well as document analysis, were used in the preparation of the background report.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><em>Project contracting authority: European Commission<\/em><br><em>Project implementers: Technopolis Group Estonia and LevelLab<br>Duration: 10\/2018 \u200d\u2013 02\/2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4167ab2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-raven-button\" data-id=\"4167ab2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;turn_to_popup_action_button&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"raven-button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"raven-widget-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"raven-button raven-button-widget-normal-effect-none  raven-button-text-align-center raven-button-link elementor-animation-none\" href=\"https:\/\/levellab.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pr_estonia_-_final_report_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">\t\t\t\t<div class=\"raven-button-overlay\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"raven-button-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"button-text-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"raven-button-icon raven-button-icon-position-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-arrow-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M413.1 222.5l22.2 22.2c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L241 473c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0L12.7 278.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l22.2-22.2c9.5-9.5 25-9.3 34.3.4L184 343.4V56c0-13.3 10.7-24 24-24h32c13.3 0 24 10.7 24 24v287.4l114.8-120.5c9.3-9.8 24.8-10 34.3-.4z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"raven-button-texts-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"button-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"raven-button-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tView the final report\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Objective The purpose of the background report was to provide a comprehensive overview and assessment of Estonia&#8217;s research and innovation system to the European Commission.
