5. WP8 – IU committments 33
Commitment 33 – Member States R&I Systems: Member States are invited to carry out self-assessment based on the policy features identified in Annex I of the IU and identify key challenges and critical reforms as part of their National Reform Programmes. The Commission will support this process through exchanges of best practice, peer reviews and developing the evidence base. It will also apply them to its own research and innovation initiatives. Progress will be monitored in the framework of the integrated economic coordination (“European semester”).
State of the art ( ):
Innovation Union Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) – Annex I of the IU
Only 5 countries (Belgium, Estonia, Denmark, Spain, Iceland) used the tool to carry out peer reviews
New tool launched under H2020: Policy Support Facility

6. WP8 – IU committment 34 State of the art (2010-2014):
Commitment 34 – Develop an Innovation Headline Indicator and monitor progress using Innovation Union Scoreboard: The Commission proposes to launch the necessary work for the development of a new indicator measuring the share of fast growing innovative companies in the economy. This will require the full cooperation of Member States and international partners. Subject to these commitments, the Commission will submit the necessary proposals and take urgent action to develop this indicator within the next two years, working with OECD as appropriate, so that it can become, over time, a new headline indicator allowing as part of the EU2020 strategy to benchmark the EU’s performance against its main trading partners. Starting immediately, the Commission will monitor overall progress on innovation performance using the Research and Innovation Union scoreboard.
State of the art ( ):
Innovation output indicator: Communication «Measuring Innovation output in Europe: towards a new indicator» adopted in Used for country specific recommendations in 2014
Innovation Union scoreboard: Updated in 2010 with 25 indicators. Published yearly, latest available issue in 2014

9. Key questions on Innovation Union implementation and effects
How it works now at EU, Member States (MS) and regional level?
- Main source: stock tacking EC reports + I3U Wps state of the art information
What is the current performance?
- Main source: Innovation Scoreboard releases + available indicators from I3U Wps
How it could work better at EU, MS and regional level with the I3U solutions?
Qualitative stakeholders-based assessment
What could be the effects?
Quantitative NEMESIS-based assessment
Policy recommendations
To implement the I3U solutions
To improve the monitoring (innovation scoreboard) and impact assessment practices
