The additionality concept
• At European level • At national level • At regional level In the framework of a
regional dimension of European research
In Europe
• The Framework Programme • The structural funds – ESRF – ESF – ….
• Other pilot initiatives
For the realization of the … European Research Area … European Innovation Area
In Italy
• PNR (National Plan for Research) 1. Basic research (knowledge based) 2. Basic research (technology based) 3. Industrial research 4. Collaboration at Regional level (bridging effect to local plans)
At regional level – main aspects
• To take into account local attitudes in order to favour the overcoming of critical situations • To consider the local science-industry relationships • To plan tasks in a perspective vision bottom-up e top-down approaches
The Emilia-Romagna region
an ideal laboratory for RTD policies
• Because of – Industrial economy vitality – Intensity of research – Quality of the environment
Regional law n. 7/02
• Rationale – Attention paid to “environmental” aspects of innovation, in order to allow companies to operate in a context available for innovative behaviours – Facilitate science-industry relationships, in order to favour the use of available skills and the exploitation of research results – Support to networks and aggregations in order to establish critical mass – Focus on scientific excellence
