Objectives:
Systematic presentation of RTD public funding models, policies and instruments including communication tools
The objective is to draw a detailed picture of the different models used in Europe to support and optimise RTD public funding, both on a regional and national level. This mapping exercise will contain examination of major conditions, requirements, legal, economic and cultural background and characteristics of tools used in communicating RTD funding needs to policy makers and public opinion.
Policy makers from the EU25 countries will be involved in all stages of the project in order to benefit from their direct experience and enable them to apply project findings and recommendations in to their daily activities.
