Sažetak
Development of a coherent science policy is a complex issue, especially within the strategic framework that has an ambition to build up the development of economy and society based on knowledge-intensive activities. The basis of such a policy is development of a dynamic (innovation) knowledge diffusion social network. Development of such a network require redefinition of the system of research careers and instruments for its development, modernization of public research institutions, investments in innovation diffusion mechanisms through alignment of educational policies and lifelong learning strategies, and development of policies and instruments for bidirectional technology transfer (from university to industry and vice versa). In this contribution, the elements of a knowledge diffusion social network in Croatia and Croatian innovation capacities are discussed from the perspectives of policies and instruments for development of research careers.
