In addition, the Scoreboard covers Serbia, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland. On a smaller set of indicators, available internationally, it also covers Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa, South Korea and the US. Every two years the Innovation Union Scoreboard is accompanied by a Regional Innovation Scoreboard." |
