| Evaluator: | Andreas Schibany, Helmut Gassler, Gerhard Streicher (Joanneum Research) | ||
| Contents: | Austria lacks a structural change towards high tech is an often heard warning. In order to reinforce the structural change a total conversion of the innovation system as well as the public support system would be necessary. However, the last years have been shown that the Austrian innovation system exhibits an astonishing potential of flexibility and adaptibility to the new challenges. The paper shows empirically that there does not exist any cause for alarm. | ||

| Contents: | Since the enactment of the University Act (UG) 2002, each university has been responsible as an autonomous institution for developing its own Promotion Plan for Women (Frauenförderungsplan) and for documenting the actions and results in performance agreements concluded with the Federal Government. In a two years procedure, which was based on a self-evaluation by the universities and an evaluation in a peer review process, the stage of development of the promotion of women and gender mainstreaming of 12 Austrian universities were evaluated. The project resulted in recommendations on drawing up ‘promotions plans for women’ and performance agreements, in an independent assessment of actions to promote women in actual practice, and an overview on the status quo of promotion of women and gender mainstreaming. | ||

| 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. | ||

| Contents: | The study proposes a portfolio of different methods for the impact analysis of RTD policy measures, and discusses their potential as well as the challenges that arise with impact analysis and different methods applied. Against this background and the experiences made in Austria with RTD evaluation and impact analysis so far, the authors develop a general framework for impact analysis; what methods might be applied in different policy context, for different kinds of policy measures and types of R&D investigated. Additionally, they suggest a set of methods and give examples for indicators that can be applied when measuring the impact of the Austrian "Offensivprogramme" (a portfolio of policy measures that got recommended for implementation by the Austrian RTD Council). Finally, recommendations on central aspects for future impact analysis of the Austrian "Offensivprogramme" are given. | ||

| Title: | Innovations in Innovation Policy Making - The Austrian Competence Centre Programme K+ | ||
| Client: | OeNb | ||
| Evaluator: | Peter Biegelbauer (IHS) | ||
| Contents: | In 1998 the first Competence Centre Programme, K+, a multi-actors and multi-measures research and technological development (RTD) policy, was introduced to Austria. Whilst the policy initiative had predecessors in the USA, Australia, Sweden and other OECD countries, it was the first of its kind for Austria. The programme was a major policy innovation for the country, not only due to its novel instruments and goals, but also because it was created in a new way, breaking with the policy style dominant in the RTD policy field before. The paper looks into the question why this major policy innovation, which in the meantime has been recognised as a best practice model by international consultants and the OECD alike, could take place. This analysis applies the policy learning approach, considers the knowledge resources utilized for the programme creation, implementation and evaluation as well as different forms of learning which took place. | ||

| Contents: | The monitoring of funding programs allows a structured proceeding and therefore also a prompt management and control of programs. Hence monitoring is part of the evaluation system which adjusts items, stages and contents. Evaluation systems “minimize escapism”. The Austrian Council tackled this subject and included in its recommendation several cornerstones for the establishment of monitoring systems. Der österreichische Rat für Forschung und Technologieentwicklung (RFT) hat sich dieses Themas angenommen und in einer Empfehlung einige Grundpfeiler für die Einrichtung von Monitoringsystemen entwickelt. | ||

| 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. | ||

| Contents: | In 1998, the Austrian Research Promotion Agency Ltd. (FFG) – department base programmes started the special programme “Austrian Food Initiative“. Its aim was to improve the competitiveness and to increase the technological potential of the Austrian food industry. R&D projects along the entire value-added chain, aiming at an increase of the technological potential of the enterprises, were supported. The initiative focussed, particularly in the second phase, on projects of SMEs and on co-operation projects. In 2000, the KMFA conducted an interim evaluation of the Austrian Food initiative in collaboration with Prof. Czedik-Eysenberg and Dr. Robien-Jedlicka. In the course of this evaluation and based on the set targets and goals, output, success and effect indicators were derived for the assessment of the programme as a whole and also for the various individual projects. This first evaluation of the initiative for the initial phase showed – according to these indicators – that the initiative could be considered a big success, and it was consequently recommended to extend its running time. | ||

| Contents: | This paper analyses the slow institutionalisation of the Austrian technology policy. It concentrates on the years between 1987 and 2002, between the creation and the dissolution of the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF). For the analysis of the ITF’s history not only classical social science categories such as interests and power are considered, but also a policy learning perspective is employed. Questions raised extend to the existence and nature of experiential learning in the creation and the reforms of the ITF, the usage of policy instruments to gather experience and knowledge, changes in the use of knowledge of policy actors and the role of national and international role models. | ||

| 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. | ||

| Contents: | The Austrian Co-operative Research Institutes have been funded by the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour from 1999-2003 in order to upgrade their research capacity and to stimulate their research activity. Generally, research activities have been increased amongst the majority of the institutes. However, in most cases, major parts of the increase is owed to increased public funding. On the other hand, some of the institutes have experienced a significant increase of contract-based research activities. As a general recommendation, funding decisions should be made on the quality and attractiveness of overall business plans rather then on specific research activities. | ||

FWF has a central position in promoting basic science though its budget position is not strong vis a vis the institution funding. This evaluation of the governance and processes shows that in this respect FWF does a good job through a mix of funding modes of which individual projects and network funding are the most important ones. | ||

| Contents: | STRAPAMO was a pilot action initiated by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Labour to strengthen research and technological co-operations between Austrian companies and companies in Central and Eastern Europe. A call for proposal has been launched in 2003. 21 projects have been submitted, out of which 12 received funding. The project lasted between 12 and 18 months and started in the fourth quarter of 2003. Intermediary organisations (such as cluster management, technology parks etc.) played an important role in establishing and developing the transnational company networks. The results of the STRAPAMO exercise have considerably shaped the structure of its successor programme CIR-CE. | ||

Because of the detailed account on FWF by Zinöcker, Dinges (2004), this is a mere delineation of the FTE advances which are supplemented by demonstration of the actors and the programs of the advancement system. The examination approaches, which have been constructed for the analysis of the Research and Technology Report (RTB/FTB) 2003 on „Advancement measures of the Government“, will be adapted in terms of the fund evaluation’s objectives. | ||

| Contents: | The Austrian Citizen’s Conference "Genetic data, from where, whereto, what for?” was arranged by the PR agency communication matters from 20 to 23 June 2003 in Vienna. It was part of the Public Awareness Campaign on behalf of the Austrian Council for Research and Technology Development on the subject matter of innovation. Despite some delays and economic shortages, evidence was provided that this participative procedure can also be carried out in Austria. The institutional context of this project has proven dissatisfactory since potential actors certify the Austrian Citizen’s Conference as lacking credibility. But the organizers have resolved reservations with presenting a concrete form of procedure. As for the scientific counseling, a team of nature- and social scientists has been called in. However, no clear objective has yet been developed for this Citizen’s Conference. The procedure has especially been carried out from the pragmatic aspect of a smooth development. | ||

| Contents: | Der österreichische Forschungs- und Technologiebericht erscheint mit der vorliegenden Ausgabe inzwischen zum vierten Mal. Zum zweiten Mal legen das Bundesministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kultur (BMBWK) und das Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Technologie und Innovation (BMVIT) einen gemeinsamen Bericht gemäß § 8 FOG vor. An der Intention des vorliegenden Lageberichts, ausgearbeitet im Rahmen des Politikberatungsprogramms TIP, hat sich wenig geändert: die Fundierung der technologie- und forschungs- politischen Debatte mit Hintergrundinformationen, die sowohl die Entwicklung Österreichs anhand zentraler Indikatoren darstellen und interpretieren, als auch die heimische Position im europäischen bzw. OECD-Kontext aufzeigen sollen. Der Bericht wendet sich damit sowohl an Politik und Verwaltung, als auch an die Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und die interessierte Öffentlichkeit. | ||

| Contents: | Debatten um die Technologiepolitik hatten einen hohen Stellenwert in der politischen Diskussion der letzten Jahre. Zuletzt hat etwa die Bundesregierung im Jänner 1999 eine Initiative zur Erhöhung der Forschungsquote auf 2,5% des BIP bis zum Jahr 2005 beschlossen. Technologiepolitische Debatten brauchen - wenn sie fundiert geführt werden sollen - Hintergrundinformationen über die Entwicklung zentraler Indikatoren betreffend Forschung, Entwicklung und Innovation, den Stand der technologischen Leistungsfähigkeit Österreichs, Trends in der Verbreitung neuer Techno- logien und den ökonomischen Effekten dieser Technologien. Diesem Zweck dient der österreichische Technologie- bericht, der nunmehr zum zweiten Mal in Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem ARCS (Austrian Research Center Seibers- dorf) und dem WIFO (Österreichisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) im Rahmen des TIP-Programms (Technolo- gie-Information-Politikberatung) erstellt wurde. Das TIP-Programm wird vom Bundesministerium für Wissenschaft und Verkehr und vom Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Angelegenheiten finanziert. Der Technologiebericht richtet sich sowohl an die Akteure des österreichischen Innovationssystems aus Wirtschaft, Forschung, Politik und Verwal- tung sowie an die an Fragen der Technologiepolitik interessierte Öffentlichkeit. | ||

| Contents: | An den Österreichischen Technologiebericht 1997 war die Aufgabe gerichtet, einen Überblick über Fakten und wichtige Zusammenhänge im österreichischen Innovationssystem zu bieten. Dabei wird nicht nur auf nationale Informationsquellen zurückgegriffen, sondern auch auf eine Fülle internationaler Daten. Im Sinne von Benchmarking wird Österreichs Innovationssystem - wo immer dies möglich war - in eine internationale Perspektive gestellt. Der Österreichische Technologiebericht enthält keine technologiepolitischen Empfehlungen, sondern ist als Informationsquelle für die technologiepolitische Standortbestimmung und Diskussion gedacht. Er wendet sich damit sowohl an die Akteure des Innovationssystems aus Wirtschaft, Forschung, Politik und Verwaltung als auch an die an Fragen der Technologiepolitik interessierte Öffentlichkeit. | ||
