| Summary: | This report documents the progress of
Lithuania in science, technology and innovation (STI) in
areas singled out by three major international reports
prepared by the Norwegian Research Council (1996), the World
Bank (2003) and the CREST-OMC panel (2007). The task was to
summarize recommendations of these studies, report on the
progress achieved to date and point to priorities for the
future. From a low point in the mid-1990s the Lithuanian STI
system has gradually strengthened. Funding for R&D has
increased and Lithuanian research groups have stepped up
their performance in terms of publication output and
relevance. It is the opinion of the reviewers that marked
progress is evident and visible with respect to the goals of
the three reports. This development has indeed been very
positive and shows the strong commitment for a continuous
improvement of the basic framework conditions for R&D in
Lithuania. Nonetheless challenges remain. In order to
further the development of STI-policies in Lithuania the
report offers new recommendations in four areas: oversight
and governance, science base, R&D linkages, and
increasing innovative capacity. |
