Aquest repositori, adreçat a tots els agents de l'àmbit de la recerca i la innovació que treballen i impulsen l'emprenedoria dels estudiants i titulats universitaris, siguin graduats, màsters o doctorands, us ofereix informació sobre les diferents iniciatives i programes de suport a l'emprenedoria disponibles.

Les empreses deeptech estan basades en coneixements científics i avenços tecnològics punters. Inclouen innovacions en les fronteres del coneixement en disciplines bàsiques com la biologia, la química, la física, les matemàtiques o l’enginyeria (STEM). A Catalunya hi ha 320 startups dedicades a les tecnologies deeptech, un ecosistema d’empreses emergents amb base tecnològica i científica sòlida i que generen impacte i busquen crear dinamisme en àmbits com la biotecnologia, la intel·ligència artificial o els semiconductors.

Per proteïna alternativa s’entén aquells anàlegs vegetals de la carn, vegetals de la llet, substituts del peix i el marisc, carn cultivada a base de cèl·lules i noves fonts de proteïna com els insectes, bolets, algues i microorganismes. Catalunya compta amb 103 empreses dedicades a la proteïna alternativa que facturen 269 milions d'euros. Generen més de 900 llocs de treball en un àmbit estratègic que creixerà de manera exponencial els pròxims anys.

Ranking of Spanish researchers, researchers working in Spanish and Andorran Institutions (Spain) and Spaniards working abroad according to their Google Scholar Citations public profiles. The data for this edition data was collected during the third week of November 2023. The list consists of the Top 123 400 profiles ranked first by h-index in decreasing order and then by the total number of citations.

This paper evaluates the causal impact of the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation on financial firm-level outcomes using a Difference-in-Differences (DiD) approach. We use administrative data from CORDA and financial data from ORBIS spanning from 2010 to 2022, for a sample of approximately 40 thousand unique private companies that applied for Horizon 2020 funding. The findings suggest that firms receiving Horizon 2020 grants exhibit an average increase of 20% in employment and about 30% in total assets and revenues, compared to comparable companies in the control group, in the years after receiving their first grant. Positive effects persist even after 2.5 years, which is the average duration of a project in our sample.

This paper argues that portfolio theory provides a powerful tool to make research funding decisions. Yet it is not applied in practice, and the most common approach is merit-based funding. As decisions are generally delegated to specialised public organisations, this is possibly explained by the existence of a principal-agent relationship, where a utilitarian principal follows a portfolio approach and makes choices for the greater good, while the agent uses, by convention, a merit-based approach to research funding. Survey data show that policy practitioners working in the field of research and innovation policy have a relatively strong preference for the merit-based funding model, suggesting the presence of a “club-effect” in line with the alleged agency relationship.

For the European Innovation Council (EIC) to achieve its mission it must be at the forefront of developments in science and technology and look to identify technologies emerging from the science base that could create new value propositions and/or disrupt existing markets. To this end, technologies and sectors to be supported by the EIC must be assessed through an anticipatory lens, an essential starting point for which is a robust analysis of the EIC’s current portfolio of activity.

Las infografías que se muestran a continuación, y que forman parte del informe de la serie Tendencias “Las energías renovables: inquietudes sociales y nuevos desarrollos científico-tecnológicos. Un desafío transdisciplinar”, ponen el foco en las principales ventajas, limitaciones, usos e impactos de las energías renovables.

This paper resents a measurement framework aiming to support the collection of comprehensive and internationally comparable quantitative and qualitative information on governmental innovation support programmes and instruments. It proposes a taxonomic system with definitions, classifications and reporting conventions aligned with OECD and other international standards. The framework is intended to support future OECD measurement efforts in this area and the analysis of innovation support portfolios within and across countries.
