Please note that this handbook is the “long” version consisting of a lot of background material<br />

and references and in particular a lot of practical hints whereas the “short” version concentrates<br />

on the latter. Please keep in mind that mainly programme managers were involved in the<br />

preparation of this handbook and that is why it is very practically oriented rather than being a<br />

scientific paper.<br />

Please note further that references are only used for the more theoretical issues in this<br />

handbook, for the practical part stemming from MAP-TN and StarMAP we have deliberately not<br />

quoted references for reasons of brevity. A short description of MAP-TN and StarMAP<br />

programmes can be found in the Annex. Further detailed background material referring to all<br />

issues discussed in this handbook can be downloaded from the MAP-TN homepage<br />

(www.map-network.net) which also serves as a forum for feedback and discussion.<br />

The members of the MAP Thematic Network very much hope that you find this handbook useful<br />

for your daily work, either to be trained (e.g. for newly recruited programme managers) or to<br />

have your way of working and your management methods confirmed or modified.<br />

1.3 The MAP Thematic Network<br />

In 2000 TIG, an Austrian agency specialised in the management of MAPs started to create a<br />

network of RTDI programme managers and complementary organisations to exchange<br />

experience and know-how about the strategic and day-to-day-work of designing, implementing<br />

and evaluating RTDI funding programmes. These ideas mainly drew on the results of a<br />

workshop in Karlsruhe about the challenges of Multi Actors – Multy Measures Programmes at<br />

ISI in 2000 3 . A proposal – called MAP-TN - was therefore submitted in June 2001 to the<br />

STRATA programme (5 th EU Framework Programme) and started in January 2002 with the<br />

following partners working together over a period of two years:<br />

• Austria: TIG - Technologie Impulse Gesellschaft (www.tig.or.at)<br />

• Germany: ISI - Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (www.isi.fhg.de)<br />

• Spain / Basque Country: Asociación Unitec (www.asociacionunitec.com)<br />

• Sweden: VINNOVA – The Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems (www.vinnova.se)<br />

• United Kingdom: Technopolis Ldt. (www.technopolis-group.com)<br />

• Hungary: Ministry of Education / Research and Development Division (www.om.hu)<br />

• Slovenia: PMIS-lab – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maribor<br />

(www.uni-mb.si)<br />

• Ireland: SEI – Sustainable Energy Ireland (www.sei.ie)<br />

• Belgium / Flanders: IWT – Institute for the Promotion of Innovation by Science and<br />

Technology in Flanders (www.iwt.be)<br />
