About OECD

The OECD groups 30 member countries sharing a commitment to democratic government and the market economy. With active relationships with some 70 other countries, NGOs and civil society, it has a global reach. Best known for its publications and its statistics, its work covers economic and social issues from macroeconomics, to trade, education, development and science and innovation.

The OECD plays a prominent role in fostering good governance in the public service and in corporate activity. It helps governments to ensure the responsiveness of key economic areas with sectoral monitoring. By deciphering emerging issues and identifying policies that work, it helps policy-makers adopt strategic orientations. It is well known for its individual country surveys and reviews.

The OECD produces internationally agreed instruments, decisions and recommendations to promote rules of the game in areas where multilateral agreement is necessary for individual countries to make progress in a globalised economy. Sharing the benefits of growth is also crucial as shown in activities such as emerging economies, sustainable development, territorial economy and aid.

The key research areas of EIIR activities concentrate on the economic, technological, organisational and institutional dynamics underpinning processes of innovation within and across diverse geopolitical contexts. One of the frameworks of research action involves participation in research project and studies funded by private and public institutions and research programs, such as the Information Society Technologies (IST) programme in the European Union's Framework Programme VI, in the above-mentioned areas and in forward-looking visionary research.
