Synopsis

The strong interest in crossing barriers and bridging dispersed resources and competencies, combined with the expected high costs of doing so, has been the ground for justifying governmental subsidies of various sorts. In Europe, divided as it is by multiple nation structures, ethnic diversity and language barriers, there is a certain prevalence of programs to promote and subsidize collaborative ventures. EUREKA is one such program, a pan-European framework for collaboration on R&D. The program is based on the idea that knowledge can be increased if organizations with complementary knowledge have the opportunity to engage their R&D activities in cooperative dialogues. EUREKA is meant to spur technological advancement for civilian purposes, and is therefore conceived as a peaceful version of the concurrent SDI (Star Wars) program in the US. EUREKA legitimizes support of collaborative R&D work between private companies, universities and other private or public institutions. Such collaboration is organized as projects that must be cross-national, must contain a significant component of advanced technology, must have a strong market orientation, and a clear prospect of producing results that lend themselves to commercialization. This book deals with EUREKA as a framework for collaborative R&D. It presents field studies of EUREKA projects in which Danish or Finnish partners collaborate with their foreign partners. Published in collaboration with Hanken, Swedish School of Economics and Business Administration, Helsinki.
