Purpose and goal
This project was about communication of mainly research-based knowledge on innovation and entrepreneurship and consisted of two parts a) one with a broader scope that included the publication Entré, the open lecture series Estrad, the webb based knowledge bank and other ways of communicating knowledge b) one more specific policy dialogue to help develop increased knowledge among policymakers.
Results and expected effects
Some of the activities and publications that we have continued to develop are: the magazine Entré with a circulation of 18 000 copies, the electronic newsletter e-Entré with over 12 500 subscribers, the open lecture series Estrad with eighteen lectures with close to 2 300 participants in total. The Sweden-U.S. Entrepreneurial Forums also attracted a record audience with over 500 participants. We have also further developed the knowledge bank on the website with more content.
Approach and implementation
Through the different activities we have created links and knowledge sharing and learning between academics, policymakers and the business community. In all activities we have strived to have multistakeholder approach and include academics, policymakers and business people. We have continued to make the network broader and larger regarding all stakeholder groups.
