What a public procurer of innovation should know and be able to do: Considerations for curriculum development

Taking as the starting point the increasing interest for utilizing public procurement as a means to stimulate innovation, this paper explores some considerations for curriculum development for teaching public procurement of innovation. A basic understanding of what is a curriculum was used as a foundation for the development of a master level course in public procurement of innovation in a university setting. The course is outlined together with some examples of teaching activities included in the curriculum.
