| Description | Societal challenges, such as climate change, population ageing, food security, biodiversity loss, cancer, and migration, are the global priorities of the 21st century. There is a broad consensus over the vital role of innovation in coping with these challenges. Thus, various theoretical bases dealing with the role of innovation and innovation policy in achieving societal goals have been created in the scientific literature. The aim of the paper is to present the selected approaches for the orientation of innovation policy towards societal goals and provide examples of their practical application on the European Union (supranational) level. The paper is based on a literature review, as well as empirical studies. It provides an overview of the approaches, describes common features and relationships, and offers empirical evidence of case studies. |
