Abstract

The societal challenges based approach to STI policy is currently one of the key ways the EU seeks to break away from the linear and since-push driven policy thinking. This seems to raise complex challenges of policy legitimization, rationalization and institutionalization especially in countries that have tried to build market-based innovation systems. Based on the case study of Estonia, we show that in addition to developing new policy mixes and coordination instruments, such policy shift may also require re-thinking of core STI policy rationales and legitimization practices; and these may have to be further supported by experimental policy approaches and institutional innovations for changing the habits and routines of key STI system actors.
