Abstract | Many countries are directing their attention toward the support of technological innovation in order to obtain economic and social benefits at home while positioning themselves for high margin, high technology export markets. The under-considered and under-exploited role of arts, humanities and social science in innovation is explored in this study. Examples of programs and activities in a variety of countries are illustrated. Insight is offered into why the arts, humanities and social sciences are important to the generation of social and economic benefits through innovation. Furthermore, recommendations are provided for better reaping the benefits that the arts, humanities and social science can provide. © 2018, National Research University, Higher School of Econoimics.

Quiet contributors: The role of the arts, humanities and social sciences in innovation. Insight is offered into why the arts humanities and social sciences are important to the generation of social and economic benefits through innovation. Recognizing the Limited Interplay between Innovation and Technology One of the challenges faced by academics and researchers in the arts humanities and social sciences is the fact that politicians and others do not see these areas as contributors to a healthy and prosperous society. A subset of activities that were discussed by the policy makers are now considered to help make analysts policy makers and other stakeholders more aware of the opportunities for unleashing innovation based upon the social sciences arts and humanities. While requiring technological projects to have a non-technical componentas is the case with the GELS programis not always successful it ensures that there is some consideration and activity related to the interaction between technology and society.
