Universidad e investigación

La financiación competitiva de los proyectos de I+D, con especial referencia a las Ciencias Sociales y Económicas

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to measure the relationship between universities and research.
The position of every Spanish university is mapped in relative scales of research capabilities,
research efforts and research excellence. The method used is based on the analysis of aggregate
outcomes, at the research organisation level, of the competition for research funding coming from
national government. The period used for construction of the data corresponds to the R+D projects
funded by public financing between 1996 and 2001, through National R&D Programmes and the
Program for the General Promotion of Knowledge (PGC). Special analysis will be devoted to
research activities in the sphere of Social and Economic Sciences.
