Abstract

We characterize the geography of communities in the European R&D network using data on R&D projects funded by the fifth European Framework Programme. Communities are subnetworks whose members are more tightly linked to one another than to other members of the network. We characterize the communities by means of spatial interaction models, and estimate the impact of separation factors on the variation of cross-region collaboration activities in a given community at the level of 255 NUTS-2 regions. The results demonstrate that European R&D networks are made up of distinct, relevant substructures characterized by spatially heterogeneous community groups.

The version of the EUPRO database used for this study contains information on 61,169 projects funded from FP1 to FP6, yielding 323,638 participations by 60.034 organizations (status: December 2010).

FP5 had a total budget of 13.7 billion EUR and ran from 1998 to 2002 (CORDIS 1998). See Scherngell and Barber (2009) and CORDIS (1998) for further details on FP5.

We follow previous similar empirical work and rely on a NUTS2 disaggregation of the European territory (see Fischer et al. 2006; LeSage et al. 2007; Scherngell and Barber 2009, 2011). The NUTS2 level provides the basis for the provision of structural funds by the EU, as well as for the evaluation of regional growth processes across Europe (see Fischer et al. 2009).

Note that we do not exclude zero-flows or intraregional flows.
