The SEE project has launched its first Policy Booklet on Integrating Design into Regional Innovation Policy at the SEE network summit in Copenhagen. The SEE Policy Booklet presents an overview of innovation policy priorities in the SEE partner regions.

These priorities contrasted with the strategic priorities for innovation identified by the European Commission. From this comparative analysis six key issues emerged as common across the policy agendas: Innovation in Services, Public Procurement, Collaborative Clusters & Networks, Lead Markets & Eco-innovation, Intellectual Property Rights & Broadening the Scope of Innovation.

This is the first of four SEE Policy Booklets to be published between 2009 and 2011. An electronic copy of the booklet is available to download from the SEE website: http://seeproject.org/publications.
