Hungary: low R&D expenditure
The GERD was HUF 310 billion Ft in 2010, which is 1.14% of the GDP

RDI policy context – double challenge
• Short-term adaptation to the crisis in the policy field vs. the
need to define a long-term RDI perspective
• The global financial/debt crisis forced the Hungarian
government to take steps, which influence RDI policy as well
• National RDI strategic priorities should be presented in 2011 /
2012, requred by
– EU2020 NRP: GERD / GDP target is set to 1,8% by 2020
– S3 is required by the so-called ex ante conditionality criteria proposed
by the Commission for the next period Cohesion policy (Structural
Funds)

The Horizon 2020 package
The Horizon 2020 package was published on 30 November
(http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/) – to help Hungarian
participation is a key task
• Proposal for Horizon 2020 / the Framework Programme for Research
and Innovation (2014-2020): general objectives, European value added,
financial framework, controling/monitoring/evaluation principles;
• Proposal for the Specific Programme implementing Horizon 2020: rules
for execution and some more specific scientific content;
• Proposal for a single set of Rules for Participation and Dissemination in
Horizon 2020;
• Separate proposal for the part of Horizon 2020 corresponding to the
Euratom Treaty

Hungary has a low participation rate in FP7
(EUR)
13
Reasons for the low FP participation rate
• Structural gap between old and new member states:
95% of the support went to the EU15 and only 5% to
the EU12. Reasons include:
– Few coordinators, lacking coordinating capacities and capabilities
– Project size, difficulties to join consortia, excellence criteria, poor
networking capacities, bureaucratic procedures…
• EU12 countries try to harmonise their views now
• A „national Horizon 2020 consultation” was launched
on 29 November 2011

EU 2020 Strategy
The Hungarian National Action Plan
The first draft was submitted to the COM November 12,2010
Approving the final version will take place in April, 2011 (during the course of the
Hungarian EU Presidency)
Hungary intends to increase its R&D expenditure to 1.8% of GDP by 2020 while
further increasing the share of the business sector in financing R&D activity.
Measures of the NAP:
•
Renewal of the STI (R&D&I) strategy (in 2011);
•
Restructuring the governance system of the NIS;
•
Revised, single state aid system.
Important evaluation documents:
•
OECD Reviews of Innovation Policy: Hungary, http://www.nih.gov.hu/english/oecd/oecd
•
Evaluation of the operation of the Innovation Fund in 2004-2009,

Ministry for National Economy
Renewal of the current STI strategy
Main characteristics:
a) Timescale between 2011-2020,
b) Harmonising with the international trends, [Innovation
Union, OECD Innovation Strategy], and the best practice of
the EU Member States [Austria, the Czech Republic,
Finland, Ireland, etc.],
c) State-of the art innovation approach including the nontechnological innovation aspects as well,
d) Strong focus on the market and exploitation-oriented R&D
activities, the innovation performance of the companies.
16
Strategic necessities
• Economic realities make the government focus RDI policy on
business actors, which can stand in the global competition
(and on public actors, who can directly serve them)
• At the same time, long-term „maintenance” and „renewal” of
the knowledge base should not be forgotten either (in
cooperation with other ministries – education, development
policy etc. - and other stakeholders)

Vision
„By 2020, with the help of an active RDI policy, key actors of the
National Innovation System will be strengthened and become
equal participants in global innovation processes, who in turn –
as generators of spillover impacts – will be able to provide
momentum for the whole NIS, thereby contributing to increasing
competitiveness and rendering Hungary a sustainable knowledge
economy” (working definition)

Összefoglalás
• A KFI aréna és a játszma globális, a folyamatok különböző
innovációs rendszerekben zajlanak és dinamikusak
• A KKV-k szempontjából lényeges egyes rásegítő keretfeltételek
érvényesülése pl. a versenyfeltételek, az adminisztrációcsökkentés,
a vállalkozóbarát üzleti környezet, a kiszámíthatóság stb. területén
• A KFI stratégiát – az erőforrások tükrében – fókuszálni szükséges, és
(mások mellett) az innovatív fiatal cégcsoport támogatása
mindenképpen javasolt
• Kiemelendő az együttműködő társpolitikák (elsősorban az oktatás-,
és tudománypolitika, regionális fejlesztés) jelentősége – a korszerű
innovációpolitika iránti elvárások egyben nagyfokú koordinációs
elvárások is, az innováció jelentőségének elfogadása mellett.
