Support to Finland on improving R&D collaboration between research organisations and the private sector

PSF Country Finland aims to analyse and address the barriers hindering public-private R&D collaboration within Finland's research and innovation (R&I) ecosystem. The activity explores the obstacles that hinder such collaboration in Finland and identifies bottlenecks for improvement. The main outcome of the project is a report which, based on an evidence-based diagnosis of the current situation, will present a set of operational recommendations feasible for implementation by the national authorities.The PSF Country Finland focuses on the following areas:What kind of barriers can be identified in terms of R&D collaboration between HEIs, public sector, companies and public research institutions in Finland? What would be the most efficient ways to encourage public-private R&D collaboration through public R&D funding and other policy measures? Are there barriers to increase collaboration? What kind of collaboration forms should be enhanced in order to advance the increasing productivity and creating sustainable growth in Finland.
