Research for the benefit of Research for the benefit of SMEsSMEs

Research for SMEs: Low to medium technology SMEs with

little or no research capability Research intensive SMEs that need to outsource

research to complement their core research capability

Research for SME associations: SME associations representing their members and

their common technical problems

Target groups outsourcing research

activities

Regions of KnowledgeRegions of Knowledge

Through the development of regional research-driven clusters

Two objectives for all European regions

Strengthen their capacity for investing in RTD

and carrying out research activities

Produce research strategies that contribute

to regional economic development

Research entity Regional authority

Local enterprise Others (bank …)

OBJECTIVES

• to stimulate the realisation of the full research potential of the enlarged Union by unlocking and developing the research potential in the EU’s convergence regions and outermost regions

• to strengthen the capacities of their researchers to successfully participate in research activities at EU level

CONVERGENCE REGIONS

Regions eligible for financing by the Structural Funds (2007-2013) under objective « convergence » - whose per capita gross domestic product (GDP) is less than 75 % of the average GDP of the EU-25.
