Appendix 1

Austrian Council for Research and Technology Development
The Austrian Council was established by law (§ 17 FTFG) on 11 July 2000 and assembled on 6 September 2000.
 

The Council
1) advises the federal government, the ministers and the "Länder" in all matters related to research, technology and innovation
2) defines a long-term national RTD strategy
3) monitors the step-by-step implementation of this strategy
4) sets up guidelines for national research and technology programmes and for promoting RTD institutions
5) gives recommendations for strengthening AustriaŽs position in international programmes and co-operations
6) makes proposals for national RTD programmes in the international framework
7) makes proposals for improving the co-operation between science and industry
8) lays down guidelines for evaluation of institutions.
 

Furthermore the Council was asked by the government to give advice on how the extra-financial funds for RTD provided by the government in 2000 (509 million Euro) and for the years 2004 - 2006 (600 million Euro) should be allocated.


The Council`s Self Image
The Council provides systematic, independent and sound advice for the design and implementation of a future-oriented RTD policy. The Council operates as the central hub of the widely spread network of the research and technology system.

Vision and Strategy of the Austrian Council
The Council supports the aim of the government to increase the RTD quota in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) from 1,8% in 2000 to 2,5% of GDP in 2005.
In its paper "Vision 2005 - Among the Best Through Innovation" the Council defined the shared values, guiding principals, goals and strategic guidelines of its work. In close consultation with experts and institutions, the strategy paper: "2,5% + plus - Prosperity through Research and Innovation" was drawn up. The strategy is based on the conclusions of the "Vision 2005" and supplements it with the formulation of important strategy elements and a first package of measures as well as model calculations to quantify possible ways of achieving the goal. The main objective is to improve the quality, efficiency and output of research and to foster the implementation of RTD results which should lead to a better innovation performance. In order to achieve a top position among the OECD countries complementary strategies, e.g. in education or telecommunication are necessary.
