Project R-1669

Overeenkomst Expertisecentrum Onderzoek en Ontwikkelingsmonitoring 2009-2013 (Research)

Expertisecentrum O&O Monitoring (Centre for R&D Monitoring, ECOOM) is an interuniversity consortium with participation of all Flemish universities (K.U.Leuven, UGent, VUB, UA and UHasselt). Its mission is to develop a consistent system of R&D and Innovation (RD&I) indicators for the Flemish government. This indicator system has to assist the Flemish government in mapping and monitoring the RD&I efforts in the Flemish region. The activity of ECOOM underscores the ambition of the Flemish government to consolidate and to further develop its position as a European innovation intensive region. To serve this ambition, a well-developed RD&I indicator system is needed. This is the challenge the Flemish government has taken on, together with Expertisecentrum O&O Monitoring. To this end, ECOOM collaborates intensely with all relevant actors in the Flemish RD&I system: universities, research institutes and industry. The government agencies EWI and IWT are our close partners
