The additionality concept
• At European level
• At national level
• At regional level
In the framework of a regional dimension of European research
In Europe
• The Framework Programme• The structural funds
– ESRF– ESF– ….
• Other pilot initiativesFor the realization of the
… European Research Area… European Innovation Area
In Italy
• PNR (National Plan for Research)1. Basic research (knowledge based)
2. Basic research (technology based)
3. Industrial research
4. Collaboration at Regional level (bridging effect to local plans)
At regional level – main aspects
• To take into account local attitudes in order to favour the overcoming of critical situations
• To consider the local science-industry relationships • To plan tasks in a perspective vision
bottom-up e top-down approaches
The Emilia-Romagna regionan ideal laboratory for RTD policies
• Because of– Industrial economy vitality – Intensity of research– Quality of the environment
Regional law n. 7/02
• Rationale– Attention paid to “environmental” aspects of innovation, in
order to allow companies to operate in a context available for innovative behaviours
– Facilitate science-industry relationships, in order to favour the use of available skills and the exploitation of research results
– Support to networks and aggregations in order to establish critical mass
– Focus on scientific excellence
