Starting conditions of successful European R&D consortia

  • Conference paper
The Dynamics of Innovation

Abstract

The European Union spends large amounts of money to fund such European research programs like BRITE EURAM or ESPRIT. In these programs corporations and universities from different European countries form R&D consortia in order to cooperatively conduct research and to develop and apply new technologies. Through these programs the European Union hopes to bundle the competencies of its member countries and to develop and exploit innovative solutions based on leading-edge technologies in order to increase the competitiveness, employment and wealth of its economies.
