Handbook on data collection on joint and open research programmes (JOREP) : annex to the final report

This is a study designed, commissioned and owned by the European Commission (DG Research and Innovation, Unit C6-Economic analysis and indicators). This study is part of a set of projects providing key information for policy making in the perspective of contributing to growth in Europe through innovation policies. The study provides a sound quantitative basis for the monitoring of investments in joint and open research programmes in EU countries, as well as empirical evidence of the policy rationales and impacts of these programmes on the European Research Area. The project has carried out a comprehensive collection of data about joint and open programmes according to a set of standardised descriptors, and provided an analysis of motivations and impact of these programmes. This publication is the methodological Handbook of the study and is annexed to its Final report. These two publications, as well as a short Summary report of the study, the detailed Analysis Report and 11 Country reports, are available at: http://www.ec.europa.eu/reearch/innovation-union/index_ en.cfm?pg=other-studies
