The report presents the results of the online survey about research and policy support needs for innovation in the South-East Europe. The questionnaire was distributed to 360 participants in Croatia as well as the other six selected South East European countries (SEE): Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia. 127 participants completed the questionnaires.
Among respondents, 20% come from private sector (10% private profit organizations, and 10% private non-profit organizations). 29% of the participants come from the public sector (19% government ministries, 10% public agencies), 29% of the representatives are university staff, and finally, 22% belong to the research institutes. In this brief report, we present the most interesting results, including similarities and differences among the countries, as well as among the sectors: public sector, science or university sector, as well as private sector. A half of the respondents were responsible for the implementation of the programmes related to the development of innovation policy and R&D policy, and these results reflect the knowledge and views of the ‘insiders’ of R&D and innovation policy.
The objective of the survey was two-fold: to get the views of the stakeholders on current R&D and innovation policies, and to understand research and policy support needs of innovation stakeholders. Please find the report below.
