The Transformative Innovation Policy Consortium (TIPC) at SPRU brings together global actors to examine and research respective innovation systems to explore the future of innovation policy – its foundation, formulation and governance. The Consortium’s key objective is to examine and expand on current innovation frames and approaches to assist in solving urgent social and economic issues. TIPC was founded in 2016 by Johan Schot as part of the Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU) at the University of Sussex. Alongside SPRU, the founding countries of Colombia, Norway, South Africa, Sweden and Finland made an equal financial contribution and dedicated time of senior policymakers and other resources to collaborate on work within TIPC.
