course aims in Estonian
Kursuse eesmärk on käsitleda riigi rolli tehnoloogilise arengu ja innovatsiooni edendamisel. Kursus annab ülevaate erinevatest teoreetilistest võimalustest riigi ja avaliku halduse rolli innovatsiooni edendamisel lahti mõtestada. Samuti on kursuse eesmärk anda ülevaade ja diskuteerida arenevate riikide ees seisvaid väljakutseid innovatsiooni edendamisel. Kursus vaatleb lähemalt küsimusi, milline peab olema avaliku halduse struktuur ja ülesanded, et oleks tagatud tehnoloogiline areng ja innovatsioon.
