Abstract

Spanish universities have reached in the period 2001-2006 an outstanding increase in scientific production, and occupy a relevant position at European and World level, in Economics and other subjects. In this study we analyze the Spanish situation in comparison with the EU. We find a very low support to RD activities in Spain in comparison with EU average, as well as a low value of the European average in comparison with the United States. We point to the priorities demanded by Spanish and European researches in order to improve institutional support and to favor the positive impact of RD activities on economic development and employment.
