According to the source, the German Innovation Survey has been conducted on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) by the Center for European Economic Research (ZEW, Mannheim, Germany) since 1993 in cooperation with the Institute for Applied Social Science (Infas) and the Fraunhofer-Institute for System and Innovation Research (ISI). The survey covers German companies with at least five employees and an economic focus on one of the relevant segment groups. Definitions and evaluation methods correspond to OECD standards and Eurostat. Every two years, the innovation survey is part of the Europe-wide innovation evaluation Community Innovation Survey (CIS) of Eurostat.
