Annex 1 - European Innovation Scoreboard - Regional Indicators and Approach

In this Annex we provide an overview of the indicators and methodology adopted in EU (2003), Technical paper 3 of the 2003, European Innovation Scoreboard. This is based around a series of 13 indicators which are defined in Table A2.1. In addition to these basic indicators a composite indicator is used defined as a weighted average of the other indicators. Data from Annex F of EU (2003) was used in the construction of Figure 2.6
