The Analytical Country Reports analyse and assess in a structured manner the evolution of the national policy research and innovation in the perspective of the wider EU strategy and goals, with a particular focus on the performance of the national research and innovation (R&I) system, their broader policy mix and governance. The 2013 edition of the Country Reports highlight national policy and system developments occurring since late 2012 and assess, through dedicated sections: 
  -National progress in addressing Research and Innovation system challenges;
  -National progress in addressing the 5 ERA priorities;
  -The progress at Member State level towards achieving the Innovation Union;
  -The status and relevant features of Regional and/or National Research and Innovation Strategies on Smart Specialisation (RIS3);
  -As far relevant, country Specific Research and Innovation (R&I) Recommendations.
Detailed annexes in tabular form provide access to country information in a concise and synthetic manner.
The reports were originally produced in December 2013, focusing on policy developments occurring over the preceding twelve months.JRC.J.2-Knowledge for Growt
