Programme in order to raise RTD/GDP (2,5% in 2005) Austria‘s famous old structures/high-performance Paradox: AT is dominated by „traditional industries“ (metals, machinery, paper), yet has steep increase of productivity, GDP growth is over average, low unemployment, growing EU-market share a.s.o. http://www.tip.ac.at Some remarks on AT-Innovationsystem

12. IT-STAR-Meeting Budapest 12/28 IST FP 5 – Cooperation NAS – EU 15

13. IT-STAR-Meeting Budapest 13/28 IST in FP 5 – Some conclusions (1) FP is proven mechanism for internationalisation and networking of RTD-players Quantity of RTD-funding is highly relevant on national level FP has advantages for smaller countries (competition under controlled conditions, fair access) FP allows boost of national strenght Good mix between focus and broad coverage

14. IT-STAR-Meeting Budapest 14/28 IST in FP 5 – Some conclusions (2) Share of funding to NAS-countries is very low (2,7% = approx. share of Sweden) Too much „small stuff“ (2.700 Contracts!) Time-to-contract problem: cycles of techn. developm. are shorter than the programme Administrative overhead is tremendous (INFSO Staff: 1.050) Impact on europ. competitiveness is too low Missing link to national activities (coexistence instead of cooperation or intergration)
