| Contents: | The programme uni:invent is designed to step up efforts to exploit research results attained by Austrian universities. Through the use to targeted screening of selected research results for their potential for patenting and their commercial propects, it is intended to enable and facilitate the practical implementation of top-research in Austria. The objective of the programme is to establish a sustainable "utilisation culture" at universities and to build efficient exploitation structures. The mid-term evaluation makes an appraisal of the programme and makes recommendations on how to continue | ||

| Title: | Interim Evaluation of aws Technology Programes | ||
| Client: | Austrian Federal Ministry of Economics and Labour (bmwa) | ||
| Evaluator: | Technopolis: Leonhard Jörg; Joanneum Research: Andreas Schibany, Brigitte Nones, Helmut Gassler | ||
| Contents: | BMWA has authorized Technopolis and Joanneum Research to carry out an interim evaluation of several technology programs which are supported by the Austria Wirtschaftsservice (aws). The conceptual formulation of this evaluation goes beyond a normal program evaluation. To begin with, the expediency, efficiency, and the achievement of objectives on the level of individ-ual programs had to be controlled. Based on the results drawn from this inspection, the actual challenge was to critically rate the arrangements’ portfolio, which goes beyond the program lim-its. It has to be considered, though, that this interim evaluation merely covers a segment of the entire aws portfolio. Cross links to the amplified aws protfolio were – if possible – prepared ba-sed on the programs listed here. However, this does not substitute for a comprehensive review of the complete aws portfolio. Thus, the suggestions for further development given here have to be reconsidered within the aws’ overall context. | ||

| Evaluator: | Technopolis: Fritz Ohler, Anton Geyer | ||
| Contents: | Austria is endowed with a comparatively large number of technology and innovation centres. In the late 90ies an evaluation of these centres revealed a unsatisfactory low impact both on incubation (= increasing the number of new firms) and on growth. The RIF / REGplus programme was implemented to increase competence of the centres' management to support firms in their creation and growth. This project looks after the outcomes and impacts of this type of funding, i.e. whether the competence of the centres' management has been increased to serve both the tenants as well as the regional economy. | ||

| Evaluator: | FFG: Sabine Mayer, Dorothea Sturn; Technopolis: Anton Geyer; Evaluanda: Eric Zellweger | ||
| Contents: | The establishment of Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) out of already established training institutions in Switzerland created seven UAS which nowadays offer almost 200 academic courses. Together with traditional universities the UAS form the Swiss higher education sector. The new mission as stipulated in federal Law requires UAS to carry out applied research & development (aR&D), further education and contract services besides their academic training functions. Policy makers call for UAS to orientate themselves to the needs of the Swiss business sector, concentrate on practical issues, help to shorten ‘’time to market’ and establish thematic priorities. In comparison with universities UAS are described as equivalent but different. In accordance with this mission the Swiss Innovation Agency CTI supports building up aR&D competencies at UAS through project funding and accompanying support measures such as providing support of National Networks of Compentence (NNC) and UAS specific information and coaching services. | ||
