Description
Summary:ISBN: 1-871130-19-0 The subject of the study is the regionalisation of research and technology development (RTD) policy in Europe, drawing out policy lessons particularly for the Austrian case. An overview of recent trends in European policy practice highlights key developments before a more detailed look at the experience of four case study regions is provided. The regional level approach to strategic RTD planning experience, as well as the national context for policy support in this area, are analysed for Bremen, Flanders, North-East England and Northern Sweden. An overview of the regional technology policy and strategies in the Austrian Länder is then provided before policy recommendations are drawn out. These focus on the key factors influencing the process of regional level strategic planning and the relationship between regional and national authorities in this policy field.
