Abstract

In this paper we characterize the geography of communities in the European R&D network using data on R&D projects funded by the fifth European Framework Programme. Communities are subnetworks whose members are more tightly linked to one another than to other members of the network. We characterize the communities by means of spatial interaction models, and estimate the impact of separation factors on the variation of cross-region collaboration activities in a given community at the level of 255 NUTS-2 regions. The results demonstrate that European R&D networks are not homogeneous, showing distinct, relevant substructures characterized by spatially heterogeneous community groups.
