STIP Compass in the Western Balkans

STIP Compass is an exceptionally useful online tool for STI practitioners, research and policy-makers from the Western Balkans. At the moment, it features 96 policy initiatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Serbia. The remaining three Western Balkan economies are not covered.

The key component lists all available strategies and action plans. In addition, it features main policy initiatives (by budget), recently reported policy initiatives and main responsible organisations.

Users can also find information through sub-dashboards by policy area. These are governance, public research system, innovation in firms and innovative entrepreneurship and human resources. Additional dashboards include science-industry knowledge transfer, research and innovation for society and countering impacts of COVID-19 on STI systems. For European countries one can also find ERA-related initiatives.
