The European Commission has just published the 2022 edition of its European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS), which aims to measure and compare the relative performance of the 27 EU Member States in terms of innovation.
Luxembourg maintains its seventh position from last year and thus remains among the so-called "Strong Innovators". Its score is 118.6% of the European Union average, remaining very close to the score obtained in 2021.
In particular, Luxembourg maintains its position at the top of the ranking of the most attractive research systems. The three indicators under the heading "attractive research systems" are international scientific co-publications, most cited publications, and the share of foreign doctoral students.
In addition, the areas in which the country ranks best are publications resulting from collaboration between the public and private sectors, the share of the population with a higher education degree, and employment in knowledge-intensive activities.
