Evaluation of the NUTEK-VINNOVA programme in Complex Technical Systems 1997-2001

The report examines a research programme in Complex Technical Systems, carried out by NUTEK/VINNOVA in cooperation with Swedish Industry in two stages during the year 1993-96 and 1997-2001. The evaluation report tackles two somewhat different aspects. First direct results are given, which are found well tuned to industrial needs and producing many useful outputs. Second it considers what one can learn on a more general level from the programme and how to run significant technology and innovation activities.  In this context the report discusses two models, called "Mode 1" (disciplinary research) and "Mode 2" (multidisciplinary resarch involving industry, university and other R&D workers). Needs but also difficulties to mix the two models are highlighted with examples drawn from the evaluated programme.
