16. 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

17. Successful industry driven research Institute 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 Competitiveness Sustainability High scientific publication rate Proof of expertise Required to get funding Ability to identify and get what is required to solve future challenges

18. 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
