METHODOLOGICAL DEBATE ON THE ‘REGIONAL INNOVATION SCOREBOARD’.
The Spanish context in accordance with the EIS
As mentioned in the introduction, the Eu- ropean Commission offers an innovation lev- el diagnosis at both national (via the EIS synthetic index) and regional (via the RIS synthetic index) levels. This section aims to analyse the Spanish situation in the context of European countries, based on the data provided by the EIS at national level. This chapter can therefore help contextual- ise the results to be included in sections four, five and six of this report, which an - alyse the situation of the Spanish regions in the European context.
The coloured columns in Figure 1 show the performance of European countries in 2021 relative to that of the European Union average (EU = 100 for 2014). The figure is accompanied by the performance shown by each country in 2014 (thin black line) and 2020 (thick black line), in both cases also relative to the EU average for each year. The dashed lines show the thresholds that allow European countries to be classified in categories by performance: innovation leaders (countries with performance over 125% of the EU average): Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Belgium), strong innovators (be- tween 100 and 125% of the EU average: Neth - erlands, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, Esto- nia, France and Ireland), moderate innovators
