The new questionnaire has been tested, and a large survey on innovation is now being carried out in Norway, Spain, England, France and Hungary.

The survey focuses on the methods used to develop and implement new or improved services, or processes, in the public sector (defined as innovations in the survey). Many questions focus on innovations that have been introduced over the past two years. Additional questions deal with the source of the ideas for these innovations, the use of various inputs and resources in the development processes, the possible involvement of future users of those innovations, and any obstacles that might have obstructed the development.

In Norway, the survey has been sent to randomly elected public managers in the central and local government administration who are responsible for public services. The survey will generate a rich data set that can provide answers to interesting issues related to innovation in the public sector. The scholar shall carry out quantitative research based on this dataset.
