Austrian Success in the 6th Framework Programme of the EU
Sabine Herlitschka from FFG, recently announced statistical data on Austria’s competitiveness in the 6th European Framework Programme. See e.g. a report in Computerworld.at.
Unfortunately, the report does directly refer to data. The ministry of science and education coordinates twice a year a status report (Proviso, see http://www.bmbwk.gv.at/proviso and an actual report from spring 2006 http://www.bmbwk.gv.at/medienpool/13535/fopro1043din130606_20060612.pdf).
Another excellent initiative is “project intelligence”, see http://pi.ijs.si/, which allows browsing for FP5 and FP6 projects by projects, countries, etc. One of the core issues is with all data, that there is quite some dodgy-ness in the acquisition: most data only refers to proposals (not actual projects). Still, it is a valueable indicator for international performance of organisations (and Salzburg Research has been particularly well in FP5, FP6 has no final data available yet).
