    Abstract: This paper uses multiple linear and fractional probit regressions to assess the importance of regional research capacities and assets, as well as intrinsic characteristics of the regions in defining success in the European R&I Framework Programme. We find that quality of research outputs matters more than quantity, particularly in projects targeting societal challenges, while quality of patenting activity matters more than quantity, particularly in projects targeting industrial objectives. Less-developed regions benefit from improved institutions, while advanced regions gain from increased R&D and human resources investments. We provide recommendations on how regions can improve their capacity to participate in the EU FP for R&I.

    Abstract: Academic institutions and their staff use, adapt and create software. We're thinking of business tools used to carry out their mission: teaching management (Moodle) or subject teaching support (such as Maxima for formal calculus), for example. We're talking about software resulting from research work, designed by a researcher or a team as part of a research project (funded by ANR, Europe, etc. or not) or as a research service for a third party. These projects can last for decades (such as the Coq program proof assistant project, or the GPAC multimedia content distribution platform). We discuss why this software is produced, with what resources, the interest that institutions derive from it, what we call the "valorization" of software resulting from scientific research. The latter is multifaceted, as are the missions of scientific institutions: social value (contribution to the world heritage of knowledge), financial value (contracts), economic value (business creation), scientific value (publication), image value (visibility of the institution among target audiences: students, researchers, companies, prescribers).
    Abstract: Les établissements scientifiques, et leurs salariés, utilisent, adaptent, créent du logiciel. On pense aux outils métiers pour réaliser leur mission : gestion des enseignements (Moodle) ou support d'enseignement d'une matière (comme Maxima pour le calcul formel), par exemple. Nous parlerons ici des logiciels issus de travaux de recherche, conçus par un chercheur ou une équipe, dans le cadre d'un projet de recherche (financé, par l'ANR, l'Europe, etc. on non financé), ou en prestation de recherche pour un tiers. Ces projets peuvent s'étendre sur des décennies (comme le projet d'assistant de preuve de programme Coq, ou la plateforme de distribution de contenu multimédia GPAC). Nous discutons pourquoi ces logiciels sont produits, avec quelles ressources, l'intérêt que les établissements en retirent, ce que nous appellerons la « valorisation » des logiciels issus de la recherche scientifique. Celle-ci est multiple, comme le sont les missions des établissements scientifiques : valorisation sociale (contribution au patrimoine de connaissance mondiale), valorisation financière (contrats), valorisation économique (création d'entreprises), valorisation scientifique (publication), valorisation d'image (connaissance de l'institution parmi les publics-cibles : étudiants, chercheurs, entreprises, prescripteurs).

  5. By: Ziyaeva, Diora; Anthony, Cody
    Abstract: The International Seabed Authority recently concluded its yearly meeting without finalizing a formal Mining Code for the deep seabed. This Perspective considers the impact of the lack of a Mining Code and provides recommendations for developing countries seeking to conduct deep sea mining projects.
