About RISE
RISE gives direct strategic support to the European Commissioner for research, innovation, and science, Carlos Moedas, and to the European Commission. It focuses on how to best use EU research, innovation, and science policy to address the European growth model and to create the conditions for a different type of growth, a growth that is smart, sustainable, and socially inclusive for the EU and associated countries within a globalized world.
RISE is structured along the three policy priorities of EU Research and Innovation—Open Innovation, Open Science and Open to the World—with additional reflection on economic impact building on Open Knowledge Markets. This is why the group is divided into subgroups, delivering on specific topics:
- The Open Innovation advisory group of RISE is working in particular on the concept of the European Innovation Council, on the use of financial instruments for innovation support and on the interplay between regulation and innovation.
- The Open Science advisory group works on how to create a culture for open science to flourish by removing barriers and promoting incentives in research funding, career advancement, and publishing, via embedding Open Access, Open Data, and Research Integrity.
- The Open to the World advisory group works on science diplomacy and international cooperation for global challenges and contributes to deepening of the international dimension across research and innovation policies.
- Finally, the Open Knowledge Markets advisory group works on economic impact of research and innovation, including new concepts and measurement of innovation and the regulatory framework for research and innovation.
