(BMBF) decided to include two new priorities in its environmental
research policy portfolio. One was concerning socio-ecological

companies and public authorities can in?uence innovation activities
towards the sustainability objectives. The latter priority led to
two new programme lines, one targeting at the company level and the
other one targeting at the
publicpolicylevelundertheheadlineof"frameworkconditionsforinnovations
towards sustainable development"(RIW). The projects funded under
the RIW programme were analysing the - tential innovation impact of
environmental policy measures on the one hand and the
sustainability impact of other policies, such as innovation policy,
on the other hand. The design of the RIW programme included in
addition an international outreach dimension with the organisation
of international c- ferences as well as the establishment of
collaboration platforms among the funded projects in order to allow
for more general conclusions. The RIW programme followed the BMBF
tradition to foster multi- or interdisciplinary cooperation,
