– developing an appropriate research and development (R&D) policy mix;
– creating appropriate framework conditions for stimulating private research and development (R&D) investment;
– improving the cooperation and transfer of technologies between public research institutes and private enterprises, including through developing public-private partnerships;
– developing and making better use of incentives to leverage private R&D;
– modernising the management of research institutions and universities;
– enhancing the career development and the European, international as well as inter-sectoral mobility of R&D personnel.
The total budget for the call is €7.5 million.
