Abstract
Official documents of the European Commission have to use arguments with the aim that their programs and activities could be accepted and implemented by the member States of the EU. This article points out the interest of this field of inter-agency arguments and focuses on the example of the documents on innovation policy made by the European Commission and by some countries, like the United Kingdom and Spain. It analyzes how the conceptual frameworks, speeches and arguments from the European Commission on innovation have changed in the last decade, without sometimes being assumed by some member States. As an example, it refers to the Spanish Strategy of Science and Technology and Innovation 2013-2020.
Keywords: Interinstitutional argumentation, policies of scientific research, policies of innovations, R+D+I, Spanish strategy for science, technology and innovation, innovation studies
