Determinants of university participation in EU-funded R & D cooperative projects

Abstract This paper examines the factors that influence university participation in RD the second is the number of times a university participated in these cooperative projects. The results indicate that the probability of taking part in an EU-funded R&D project depends primarily on the scientific research productivity of the university. The factors that explain the number of times a university participated in a project include scientific research productivity, size, and differences among countries and scientific fields.
