FTI - AUSTRIA: polityka, instytucje, ewaluacja

The publication explores Austria's research, technology, and innovation system, known as the Forschung Technologie Innovation System (FTI), from the perspective of political science. It delves into four main areas. First, it examines public policies, developmental trajectories, and how historical and social factors play a role. The second area looks at the strategies for advancing higher education, emphasizing aspects like technology, innovation, intellectual property, and bioeconomics. The third focus is on the institutions that support the FTI system, which include both higher education institutions and non-university centers responsible for basic and applied research, as well as their funding and coordination. The last area pertains to evaluation, covering the nation's evaluation market, institutions, and the overall framework for research, development, and technology transfer. According to the author, to remain competitive, Austria implements an integrated research and technology policy that leverages national potential and interests while also capitalizing on the benefits of being part of the European Union.
