What kinds of skills and competences are needed for innovation ?
How are they used and how could education stimulate their development?
How can education systems themselves become more innovative in order to better respond to the needs of societies?

These questions were discussed on 7‑8 December 2009 in Paris by policy makers, education experts and stakeholders at the OECD/France workshop of the human capital strand of the OECD Innovation Strategy.

The discussions underlined the importance of assessment, measurement and information systems in fostering innovation in education. Reflections on country strategies also highlighted the varying emphases on radical innovation and incremental improvement in countries’ policy approaches. The workshop was hosted by France, and its summary report and presentations can be found here.
