University support for research and development in industry

R&D Industry builds upon the Lisbon objectives and focuses on strengthening innovation capacities in the Mediterranean area. The partnership includes 5 partners from 5 countries. According to the European Innovation Scoreboard 2008 (which presented four categories: ‘innovation leaders’, ‘innovation followers’, ‘moderate innovators’ and ‘catching-up countries’), France is an ‘innovation follower’, Slovenia, Spain, Greece and Italy are ‘moderate innovators’. The guidelines suggest that while enhancing the efficiency of the mentioned countries, the output performance may be improved without having to invest more in innovation inputs. The project thus engages university R&D as the input to be exploited.
