“…However, research capacity in industry is associated with high participation. Overall, this supports Enger & Castellacci's finding that scientific reputation is important for attracting EU funding (Enger & Castellacci 2016). Regions with a higher restructuring need are able to attract funding for restructuring projects, albeit not at the highest levels.…”

“…Participation is mainly associated with research capacity at universities and research institutes. As in other EU FPs, scientific excellence attracts funding (Enger & Castellacci 2016). Additionally, oil and gas employment is associated with participation, potentially reflecting that regions facing large restructuring challenges mobilise for these programmes.…”

“…Innovation activities funded under the FPs are mainly concentrated in more advanced EU regions (Hoekman et al 2013;Calignano & Hassink 2016;Dotti & Spithoven 2018). Successful applicants typically have a strong scientific reputation and previous experience from participating in EU framework programmes (Enger & Castellacci, 2016). Norway is rarely part of this core (Barber & Scherngell 2013).…”

With combined insights from evolutionary economic geography and transition studies, the article examines the engagement of different regions in Norway in the innovation networks created within the European Union's environmental programmes. The aim is to explore the programmes' potential for supporting green economy and economic restructuring through branching and new path creation. The authors assess which regions participate in the programmes, which international networks they build, and which organisations participate in different regions. They compare three regions with different restructuring needs and research capacitythe counties of Rogaland, Hordaland, and Sør-Trøndelag (now part of the county of Trøndelag). They find that overall, Norwegian organisations participate relatively frequently in the programmes, but private firms play a marginal role. Their partners are mainly in core EU regions. Regional participation in the programmes is a function of research capacity as well as oil dependence. The authors conclude that in research-oriented regions, research establishments tend to dominate participation, creating potential for restructuring mainly through path creation. In oil-dependent regions, private firms account for a higher share of participants, enhancing the potential for branching. As the former regions participate more, the programme can mainly stimulate path creation.

“…Det er store disiplinaere forskjeller i motivasjon og terskler for deltakelse, og det er forskjeller i hvor attraktive norske forskere er for europeiske samarbeidspartnere (Gornitzka & Langfeldt, 2009). Både erfaring med EU og nasjonal komplementaer finansiering påvirker beslutningen om å søke, mens hvorvidt man har suksess eller ikke, avhenger av to hovedfaktorer: erfaringer med deltakelse og vitenskapelige renommé (Enger & Castellacci, 2016). Effekten av Det europeiske forskningsråd viser en sentral dynamikk i EØS-avtalen, men her er det ekstra store forskjeller mellom institusjonenes forutsetninger for og evne til å lykkes på den europeiske konkurransearenaen.…”

SammendragGjennom EØS-avtalen ble det norske forskningssystemet koblet til en overnasjonal politikk preget av lagvis endring og ekspansjon. EUs økende engasjement i forskningspolitikken har resultert i et bredt sammensatt sett av forsknings-og innovasjonspolitiske virkemidler og en økende andel av EUs budsjett. Dette politikkområdet er båret av overnasjonale prinsipper for forskningsfinansiering og intense transnasjonale nettverk i sektoren. EØS-avtalen skapte en forutsigbar ramme for samhandling mellom norske og europeiske forskningsmiljøer med EUs rammeprogram for forskning som gravitasjonspunkt. Denne artikkelen retter oppmerksomheten mot de effekter denne 25-årige koblingen har hatt på det nasjonale forskningspolitiske nivå og på forskningsmiljøenes faglige aktiviteter. Nøkkelord: EU • integrasjon • forskning • forskningspolitikk • EØSIntroduksjon EØS-avtalen har i skyggen av innføringen av de fire friheter -og ved hjelp av paragraf om programdeltakelse -koblet norsk forskning opp mot Europa på en måte og med et omfang som få kunne ha forventet. Norges integrasjonsbestrebelser ble koblet til et samarbeid som etter hvert hadde som målsetting et felles europeisk forskningsområde. Forskningspolitikken har fått betydelig større oppmerksomhet

“…This gap, in turn, has prompted research authorities in many European countries to a search for ways of increasing their countries' participation in the FPs and inspired many European researchers to explore why some countries are more successful than others at securing European research and innovation grants. The result of this effort is that there is now an extensive literature discussing factors that primarily enable universities to obtain funding from the FPs (Enger and Castellacci 2016;Lepori et al 2015;Neufeld, Huber, and Wegner 2013), less so on private firms.…”

Why some countries are more successful than others at securing European research and innovation grants is a question that has recently received significant attention in the research and policy communities. This article helps answer this question by investigating the role of firms in securing financial returns from EU Framework Programmes. More specifically, it explores how three firm characteristicssize, industrial sector, and countrycan lead to increased participation in and larger grants from EU projects. The analysis is carried out using logistic and linear regressions on a combined data set consisting of data on Framework Programmes participation and firm characteristics. The analysis presents results for firms from four Nordic countries -Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Swedenand their involvement in Horizon 2020.
