The European Commission held a seminar on country-specific activities under the Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility (PSF) in Brussels on 11 December 2017. The seminar provided a platform to exchange experiences between national authorities, high-level experts working with the PSF, representatives of European countries that benefitted from PSF support, and international organisations involved in reviews of national research and innovation (R&I) systems. Participants examined various methodological approaches with a view to maximising the success and impact of R&I policy support activities. Its results will feed into future European Commission activities in support of R&I policy reforms.
