This study presents a valuable dataset supporting regional research and innovation systems in four European regions: Vestland (Norway), Kriti (Greece), Galicia (Spain), and Overijssel (Netherlands). It focuses on understanding citizens’ perceptions of research and innovation dilemmas within these regions.
Sudden move could derail collaborations that have taken decades to build, scientists say. International-development researchers in Sweden are in turmoil after the country’s government decided to cut all further public research funding for the field.
