Assessing research and policy support needs for innovation in the South East Europe

The report presents the results of the online survey about research and policy support needs for innovation in the South-East Europe. The questionnaire was distributed to 360 participants in Croatia as well as the other six selected South East European countries (SEE): Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia. 127 participants completed the questionnaires. Among respondents, 20% come from private sector (10% private profit organizations, and 10% private non-profit organizations). 29% of the participants come from the public sector (19% government ministries, 10% public agencies), 29% of the representatives are university staff, and finally, 22% belong to the research institutes. In this brief report, we present the most interesting results, including similarities and differences among the countries, as well as among the sectors: public sector, science or university sector, as well as private sector. A half of the respondents were responsible for the implementation of the programmes related to the development of innovation policy and R&D policy, and these results reflect the knowledge and views of the ‘insiders’ of R&D and innovation policy. The objective of the survey was two-fold: to get the views of the stakeholders on current R&D and innovation policies, and to understand research and policy support needs of innovation stakeholders.
