Basic research (technology based)
Industrial research
Collaboration at Regional level (bridging effect to
local plans)
At regional level – main aspects
• To take into account local attitudes in order to favour
the overcoming of critical situations
• To consider the local science-industry relationships
• To plan tasks in a perspective vision
bottom-up e top-down approaches
The Emilia-Romagna region
an ideal laboratory for RTD policies
• Because of
– Industrial economy vitality
– Intensity of research
– Quality of the environment
Regional law n. 7/02
• Rationale
– Attention paid to “environmental” aspects of innovation, in
order to allow companies to operate in a context available for
innovative behaviours
– Facilitate science-industry relationships, in order to favour
the use of available skills and the exploitation of research
results
– Support to networks and aggregations in order to establish
critical mass
– Focus on scientific excellence
