According to the source, the German innovation survey is carried out on behalf of the German department of education (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung). It is conducted by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW, Mannheim), which has cooperated with infas (Institute for Applied Social Sciences) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI) since 1993. The survey takes into account all companies in Germany with a minimum of at least five employees whose economic focus lies in the relevant sector. Definitions and measuring concepts correspond with the international standards of OECD and Eurostat. Every other year, the innovation survey is part of the European Community Innovation Survey (CIS) coordinated by Eurostat.
