Its goal is to deepen the collaboration between the European funding organizations in the field of wood material science in order to coordinate the use of research funds,
etc. 3. Case studies 3. 1. Research councils and national research programmes Research councils and national research programmes account for a smaller percentage of total research funding than direct government funding of universities and research institutions,
Also, by representing a second strand of research funding, in addition to basic funding of universities and other government laboratories, research programmes contribute to competition within the research system. 3. 2. About the study
the second phase of the foresight focused upon a set of broad themes with the aim of identifying national priorities for research funding.
Austria has accomplished major structural reforms, affecting universities as well as research funding bodies, many of which are located in Vienna.
are concerned here research funding agencies and also core funding agencies (or institutions) to universities and PROS. -the arena of research performance is the function of the production of research
It is composed as a network of research funding organisations responsible for the development of national or regional plant genomics research programmes.
The arena includes research funding and related agencies and mediates between the governmental actors and the research actors.
the aim of these forecasting exercises was to identify new and promising fields for research funding, to deliver a sound and broad information basis for funding decisions in these research fields
Similar tendencies are visible in investigator-driven Research funding models in most countries evolved but only slowly towards accommodating more interdisciplinary thematic approaches.
In Denmark, the scan issues were used as input for the selection of prioritised research themes in a four-year cycle of research funding (see Figure 3). The scan data were used alongside the outcome of a public internethearing'process that delivered an additional input
For the OECD DASTI horizon scan it was clear from the beginning that the results of the scan would be used as an important input for the process of priorittisin new research themes for the Danish fouryeea cycle of the research funding councils
or a research funding scheme (as in Denmark) or to identify new crosscutting questions that need further forwardloookin attention with other methods and transdiscipliinar approaches (clusters of issues, as in The netherlands).
'andexpert opinions'to justify allocating research funding on grounds other than scientific excellence. As a result, they argue,
Such criticisms highlight a fundamental debate in Chinese science policy-making as to how research funding should be allocated
The Ministry of S&t (MOST) plays a key role both through its responsibility for formulating S&t policy for example in the Medium and Long-term Plan and in the five-year plans for S&t development and as a key dispenser of research funds (Springut et al. 2011.
Community financial support to be provided for topping-up joint transnational research funding. 5. Currently five JTIS exist in the fields of innovative medicines (IMI), aeronautics (Clean Sky), embedded computing systems (ARTEMIS),

Working in partnership with its national members and building partnerships with research funding organisations, ICSU actively promotes interdisciplinary global science.
In Europe, a lot of room exists for increasing collaboration between the research funding activities of Member States.
