 Latest OECD Recommendations

 

  • Continue to implement the Market Unity Law, increase its transparency, and increase cooperation across different levels of government for its effective implementation.
  • Improve the functioning and governance of professional bodies related to professional services.
  • Encourage greater scale and specialisation of universities to raise the quality of innovation, by extending performance-based resources allocation and the application of international peer review and by providing more career opportunities for highly qualified researchers.
  • Give the recently activated R&D Public Policy Network a strong mandate to further increase coordination of regional and national innovation policies to avoid duplication.
  • Strengthen the ex-post evaluation framework of innovation support and consider increasing performance-based funding.
  • Strengthen active labour market policies, improve vocational training and allocate more funds to effective training schemes.
