Promotion of EU RTD programmes
The Finnish EU R&D Office (TEKES) has published the results of a study of methods used in different EU Member States for the promotion of EU RTD programmes. The study is based on interviews with Innovation Relay Centres, EuroInfo Centres, CRAFT Focal Points, and other consultants and organizations promoting EU RTD programmes, as well as companies and research institutions participating in them. The countries studied were Finland, France, Germany and The Netherlands. Based on the study, the book analyses the different promotion methods used. In addition, it discusses the major problems of participation in EU RTD programmes, and in particular, the possibilities for participation by the construction industry. The publication is aimed at organizations promoting EU RTD and to any companies or research institutions interested in participating.
