Building the European Nanomedicine Research and Innovation Area: 10 years funding innovative research projects

Regional Linkages through European Research Funding 1

We use cluster analysis to describe the regional linkages that arise through funding of research contract networks in the EU. We nd ve signi cantly di erent kinds of networks, that we label as follows: 1) Technological development, 2) Basic research, 3) Quasi-elite, 4) Elite and 5) Southern. These networks are described in terms of three basic dimensions: quality, type of partners, and size com...
