The number of EU Member States having an active science, technology and innovation (STI) strategy is steadily increasing. The reasons to pursue STI internationalisation are numerous, depending on country size, economic development, geopolitical strategies etc. This report gives an overview of EU Member States’ international STI policies and policy implementation over the last 10 years. The focus of the study is on cooperation with non EU member countries and gives a set of recommendations for a practical and cost effective methodology for monitoring the implementation of STI cooperation policies with third countries.
