Recent research has come up with a definition of the subject matter, criteria for agility in R&I policy and provided an array of elements already implemented in several R&I policy areas in different countries. While this enables a characterization of agile R&I policy practices already in place and the further development of basic recommendations and conducive measures, it leaves us with the paradox that the implementation of the sum of all agile practices and resulting recommendations would most likely result in increased administration, vast complexity and a large amount of resources needed. This leads us to the overall question guiding this paper: Can we identify patterns, contexts or particular framings that make single practices in agile R&I policy or combinations of practices more effective? A number of selected German and international case studies were used as examples of agile R&I policy in order to examine them for their elements and patterns. In our set of illustrative examples from existing policies we find recurring elements of agile R&I policy. We present a framework that turned out to be useful to categorise current practices of agile R&I policy, and to effectively support the sense-making process. |
