Nature of R&D in the Institute sector
Basic competence building and research
• Long term projects – 1-5 years• Public funded
Research projects with industry participation
• Long term projects – 1-3 years• Public/private funding
Contract research• Project duration of 0,3 – 1 year• Private funding (often included public incentives)
From basic to applied research
Successful industry driven researchInstitute sector
Balance
High academic standard
Contribution to value creation
• Attract best talents and ability to develop “industry researchers”
• World class competence in the field of expertise
• Close collaboration with the industry CompetitivenessSustainability
• High scientific publication rateProof of expertiseRequired to get funding
• Ability to identify and get what is required to solve future challenges
Pre-requisites for a strong Institute sector
A competitive and strong research sector contributing to the sustainable development of the industry
Long term governmental investments in education and research
Tax incentives for industry to invest in research and innovation
Strategic investments into research and innovation from industry players
A real marketplace for research contracts (both public and private)
There must be a market oriented culture at the research institutions
The institutes must have the sound scientific foundation

Conclusions
R&D differences between both countries
• Strong Institute sector Facilities
• Higher public investment
• Industry contribution to R&D Regulated by law
• Public funding for basic research Also developed forthe Institute sector
Investment / Ton
There must be a industry sector willing to invest on R&D
