ERIAB policy brief

Section: Research Policy & Development

Kincsö Izsak (Technopolis Group), Paresa Markianidou (Technopolis Group), Ruslan Lukach (Idea Consult) and Annelies Wastyn (IDEA Consult) published a study for the European Commission DG Research and Innovation on the impact of the crisis on research and innovation policies. The objective of this study is to better understand the qualitative as well as quantitative dimensions of the impact of the crisis on research and innovation policies and activities in the EU Member States. The 2008 global financial crisis and the economic and public sovereign debt crisis have in its aftermath shaken research and innovation activities and policies in Europe. The crisis has had a negative impact on two important inputs of research and innovation (although to different extents across EU Member States): public R&I budgets and on the availability of human resources for R&I.

Klaus Schuch from ZSI provided comments on country-specific insights as regards Austria.
