In several projects, ZSI researches and promotes internationalisation of research and innovation as well as techno-globalisation.
Techno-globalization denotes a global pervasion in generating technological knowledge and exploiting innovations with a technological content. It also claims that globalization that has been shaped and advanced with the help of technology. With regard to R&D and innovation, the term in its most modest form is shorthand for the fact that generation, transmission, and diffusion of technologies is increasingly international in scope. A fundamental typology of Archibugi and Michie (1995) differentiates between:
- global technology exploitation
- global technological cooperation
- global generation of technology
For more than 10 years, ZSI has actively contributed to researching such techno-globalization phenomena. Moreover, ZSI is engaged in conceptualising and designing strategies and instruments for governments and research systems, how to maximise the benefits of techno-globalisation, and how to minimise its negative sides. Among the clients for such advisory services are
- the European Commission
- ERAC (formerly CREST)
- the Austrian government
- the Austrian Council for Research and Technology Development
- and many others.
Klaus Schuch (ZSI) has been scientific advisor for the CREST Working Group on Internationalisation, and a member of the External Expert Group to provide advice about the RTI internationalisation strategy of the European Commission published late 2012.
ZSI is also active partner in key support facilities of the European Commission:
- the Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility and the
- Service Facility in Support of the Strategic Development of International Cooperation in Research and Innovation
