Abstract

This paper provides an insight into the growing importance and conditions of studying R&D output and impacts as well as the internationalisation of R&D. Focusing on policy needs it contributes to the development of the information base and the elaboration of new approaches, aiming at the exploitation of unexplored patent information for analysis of industrial R&D output and re-location. This approach complements the information accumulated in the framework of the European Commission’s EU industrial R&D investment scoreboard.
