Abstract:
The Science and Innovation Administration (Administratie Wetenschap en Innovatie - abbreviated AWI) mainly has a policy preparing and evaluating mission. On the one hand, the AWI is responsible for preparing the policy conducted by the Flemish government in the field of science and technology, thereby integrating fundamental, applied and strategic research into one coherent policy for Flanders. On the other hand, the AWI sees to it that this policy is being implemented in the right way, thereby also measuring and analysing the results and social effects of the applied policy measures. The Technology and Innovation Department prepares and evaluates the Flemish technology and innovation policy, aimed at stimulating the development, dissemination and application of new technologies and also stimulates the participation of Flemish researchers in international research programmes, thereby mainly concentrating on COST and the Framework Programmes on a European level.
