SYMPOSIUM:
BENCHMARKING THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY
Monday December 19th 1500-1815
London School of Economics, Houghton Street: Room D202
This symposium brings together recent academic, statistical and policy-
related work on the knowledge economy. It focuses on three themes:
* the dynamics of innovation in the knowledge economy, under conditions
of globalisation;
* the challenges of statistical measurement that are posed by the
knowledge economy;
* the Lisbon process of the EU, aimed at creating a knowledge economy
by more intensive benchmarking and policy learning.
These themes are commonly treated in isolation from each other. The
symposium explores their interrelationships and the implications for
future policy and research.
The symposium will be of interest to academics, government statisticians
and policy makers working in these areas.
The symposium is organised under the joint auspices of the European
Institute of the London School of Economics and the University of Bath. It
will also include contributions from the European Commission, the
Directorate of Science, Technology and Industry at the OECD and the UK
Office of National Statistics, as well as a variety of other scholars.
Although participation is free of charge, if you are intending to come
