The Spanish Science-Technology-Business System

• Catching up process in R&D and Innovation indicators but at low rate

• Bigger gap in GERD (52% aver.EU) than in GDP (85%).

• Still Insufficient share of GERD financed & performed by the business sector. Low BERD in relation to industrial added value.

• Business participation in national programmes dominated by SMEs.

Revision of Programmes approved by

CICYT

• The Government has put in place a new mechanism for the following-up and evaluation

of the instruments and programs in the National RTD and Innovation Plan: the Sistema

Integral de Seguimiento y Evaluación (SISE).

• Until now the expost evaluation of the results of the RTD and innovation programs was

scarce and not systematically applied.

• Continuous evaluation is essential for revising and correcting the actions in place and

for identifying the need for new actions.
