Synopsis

The strong interest in crossing barriers and bridging dispersed resources and competencies, combined with the expected high costs of doing so, has been the ground for justifying governmental subsidies of various sorts. In Europe, divided as it is by multiple nation structures, ethnic diversity and language barriers, there is a certain prevalence of programmes to promote and subsidize collaborative ventures. EUREKA is one such programme, a pan-European framework for collaboration on R&D. This work deals with EUREKA as a framework for collaborative R&D. It presents field studies of EUREKA projects in which Danish or Finnish partners collaborate with their foreign partners. The studies focus on how the process of international R&D collaboration is organized and managed in individual EUREKA projects. The reports show that many EUREKA projects are able to succeed due to a loose formal structure and strong social structure facilitating a constant reconstruction of the project organization and management.
