Global Industrial Research & Innovation Analyses

Project description

Science-based evidence to support innovation policies

Research and development (R&D) initiatives top the EU’s investment plan which includes measures to remove obstacles to investment and provide visibility and technical assistance to investment projects. In this context, the EU-funded GLORIA project aims to generate science-based evidence to support policy making in the above initiatives by monitoring, analysing and benchmarking the global industrial players in R&D. By analysing indicators like the location of companies and their technological profile, the project will shed light on the main push and pull factors for research and innovation investments in Europe. The findings will deepen our understanding of industrial dynamics and furnish policymakers with the information they need to adapt to change and to better harmonise actions with top industry influencers.

Objective

GLORIA provides evidence to support the EU and national level policy-making in key areas of research and innovation policy. It builds on the IRIMA (Industrial Research Investment Monitoring and Analysis) projects undertaken together with DG RTD since 2004, but gives more emphasis on the analyses of global industrial research and its feed into the policy cycle. It continues the analysis of company data from the sample of world top 2500 R&D innovators, but takes a new policy focus on industrial dynamics. Much more than being big direct employers, producers and innovators, the top R&D innvators have huge indirect market and innovation power. They control supply and distribution chains, help smaller firms grow and internationalise, own participations in start-ups, provide work experience for future entrepreneurs, spin-off technologies, and collaborate with Universities and public research institutions for knowledge. Therefore, GLORIA focuses on detecting differences in industrial dynamics across regions and countries, and on better understanding the behaviour of top R&D innovators to harness globalisation. Capitalising on the interaction with companies within the project, company-level data is further disentangled into companies' different innovation investments, technological portfolios and their geographic distribution across countries and regions. This is crucial because Europe aspires to host (and eventually reshore) the R&D activities of leading innovative multinational firms, rather than seeing these offshored to other countries, and remove barriers to entrepreneurship, firm growth and employment. This activity not only reaps information from companies but also provides a structured dialogue with them. GLORIA benefits from the close coordination with DG RTD as key success factor for the project. This position leverages the project to gather information across the EU from Member States, businesses, public institutions and academia, resulting in unique capacity to d

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

CSA - Coordination and support action

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
