A Centre of Expertise is a network of organizations in a region, which, together with other parties in the competence cluster, implements the national Centre of Expertise Program, relying in its operations on the region’s network of companies, universities, research institutes and technology centres. The objectives and procedures of centres of expertise are defined based on the needs and opportunities of companies and other participants in the innovation system, both at a regional and cluster level. The functions of a Centre of Expertise include: • To utilize and disseminate top-class expertise within their competence cluster and region, • To increase collaboration among companies, high-level research and education and other public bodies in strategically important fields of expertise, • To create a long-term strategy for innovation based on the needs and opportunities in the region together with other centres of expertise in the cluster, • To prepare a wide range of company-based publicprivate projects for the implementation of innovation strategy (Competence Cluster Program) and to accelerate regional development, • To catalyze growth and internationalization in existing companies with development potential, and to boost the use of public and private innovation services, and • To promote the development of creative innovation environments, characterized by effective collaboration and a dynamic of constant development. A centre of expertise must have a management team that controls and supervises the activity of the implementing organization during the program. A centre of expertise may also have a committee that sets operational targets and encourages the commitment of different organizations in the region. The objectives of the OSKE Program The overall objective of the OSKE program is • To create new innovations, products, services, companies and jobs based on top-class expertise, • To support inter-regional specialization and division of duties in order to create internationally competitive centres of expertise and • To increase the attraction of regional innovation 105
environments in order to lure international companies, investments and leading experts to the region. In order to achieve these objectives the OSKE program • Will focus on the development of selected competence clusters and internationally high-level centres of expertise, • Will utilize top-class regional expertise to strengthen the longer-term competitiveness of companies and to create new business, • Will increase the national and international networking of centres of expertise, • Will collect any regional, national and EU resources available for the development of selected key sectors and • Will ensure that regions are better prepared to utilize nationally and internationally tendered R&D funding. 2.5.1.2 Target Group of the Program Target group of the program are Centres of Expertise. 2.5.1.3 Term of the Program, Financial Aspects and Application Procedure Term of the program 2007-2013 Budget Type of funding Does the program have a specific technology focus Are there calls for proposals Is there a dialogue with applicants about the improvement of their application prior to the final submission of the application Grant funding No No Yes Maximum funding period for a project 12 months Is there a maximum amount of funding an applicant can apply for Financing structure of projects Most important evaluation criteria for project proposals EUR 140,000 • Combination of public funding from different national ministries and regional authorities • Max. 50% from the OSKE program • Impact on industry sector and companies • Knowledge and/or technology transfer 2.5.1.4 Instruments Basic funding is intended for the development of competence clusters and their related centres of expertise approved for the program. Basic state funding can be used for the co-ordination of competence clusters and centres of expertise (the organization, administration and communication of co-operation between organizations), as well as for the preparation of projects based on the program aims and for partial funding of top-level projects. 2.5.1.5 Results and Impact of the Program The OSKE program strengthens collaboration between Centres of Expertise and thus contributes to the further strengthening and exploitation of regional innovation potentials. The program has activated the regions to focus on their strengths and helped them to understand themselves as a part of the national system of innovation. Although expectations regarding larger and more “powerful” projects have not been fully met yet (it is expected that the expectations will be met in the future as the development of such projects takes some time), the program has been al 106
