2 2.2 MAIN FEATURES OF THE DESIGN As required by the terms of reference, a thematic framework was adopted for the analysis. The development of this framework was based on interviews with Commission personnel at the outset - mainly desk officers for participating regions and countries in DG XVI and with personnel in DG XII and DG V. Six main themes were identified and agreed with the Commission, as follows: 1. Capacity enhancement 2. Innovation and technology transfer 3. Management processes 4. Policy development and delivery systems 5. Learning and interaction 6. Economic impacts Regional innovation profiles were developed for all participating Objective 1 and 6 regions, using standard templates. The results are presented in Volume 2 of the Main Report. Based on criteria of dynamism, potential for improvement and very difficult regional conditions, a selection was made of three regions from each of the four cohesion countries (those with a regional structure), for more focused regional case studies. The results of the RTP evaluation in Objective 1 regions, notably Central Macedonia, and Castilia Y Leon were also drawn on. One of the new Objective 6 regions in Finland and were also included as case regions. Table 2.1 Table 2.1 Case Regions Type Country Spain Portugal Greece Italy Dynamic Valencia North Central Abruzzo Macedonia W Greece Improving Castillia Y Leon Central Thrace Apulia Difficult Andalucia Algarve Epiros Campania New Regions Objective 6 Regions/Finland A case study approach was used to provide an in-depth analysis of a sample of RTDI actions in beneficiary countries and regions. The basic approach was to cluster cases for comparison and to use the information gleaned to illuminate the thematic framework. Cases were selected in conjunction with the thematic framework and with each other, some based on positive reports and a few with negative reputations, with the aim of having a mix of contrasting cases and a good geographical spread. See Table 2.2 and 2.3 below. 9

Five highperformance SMEs - exemplars by reputation - were selected for face to face interviewing by the local consultants. Ten others, five frequent EU RTD participants and five other benefiting firms were interviewed by phone. 2.3 STRUCTURE OF PROJECT 10
4 The work programme was structured in stages, as follows and as illustrated in Figure 2.2 STAGE 1 Methodology and design, including identification of key issues and development of the thematic framework. STAGE 2 Data assembly and compilation of statistical information. STAGE 3 Desk based literature reviews, Commission reports and documentation and available evaluation reports on Structural Funds and on RTPs, RIS and RITTS. STAGE 4 Production of Interim Report - the 'June Report' dealing with the major issues and lessons based on interviews with senior personnel in participating Member States STAGE 5 The main fieldwork stage involving interviews with key informants. The output from this stage comprised the country reports and regional innovation profiles, case regions studies, the SME survey and the case studies. Preliminary regional innovation profiles were provided for the 'June Report'. STAGE 6 Comparative analysis of all regional and country reports by the project team, including review of overall results and impacts, best practice, Community added value, key issues and the scoping out of future directions for the CSFs in support of RTDI. STAGE 7 Preparation of synthesis, thematic and final reports. Fig 2.2 Structure of Study 11
