University participation in Community Programmes : How does the selection process work ?

نویسنده

  • Aldo Geuna
چکیده

This essay examines the internationalization of university cooperation, and in particular university participation in the European Community Framework Programme. We develop a theoretical framework for the analysis of the mechanisms that are driving the participants' selection into the Framework Programmes. As the quality of applicants is an unobservable characteristic we stress the relevance of information signalling. Furthermore, we highlight how the selection process is influenced in a distinct way by cumulative and selfreinforcement mechanisms. The description and preliminary analysis of the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) that have participated in at least one project of the Community Framework Programme enables us to identify a pattern of university financing that is consistent with the delineated theoretical framework.
