  1. Evaluation of science, technology, and innovation capabilities in Med countries Rigas Arvanitis ESTIME Coordinator Anne Sophie Boisard, assistant coordinator IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  2. ESTIME • A project generated on the demand of MoCo representatives • Designed by the IRD team • In close coordination with DG Research, INCO programs IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  3. Some history: • A project submitted in 2004 • Approved September 2004 • Duration : 30 months • Basic consortium: IRD + OST • Partners in eight countries IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  4. Objectives • Description of the state-of-the-art in research in all scientific fields • Design of indicators for policy making • Participate in the debates on how to enhance research (evaluation, e.g. Morocco, Egypt) • Promote “science studies” in Med countries IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  5. Strategy for the project • Identify contact points at high level, authorities of the country • Identify working teams in each country • Maintain contact with INCO, DG Research IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  6. Workplan 2005 (1/2) • Identification of local partners and contacts with local authorities. Meeting with authorities (may 2005) • Definition and elaboration of main bibliometric indicators (jan 2005) • Micro-bibliometric work. (jul 2005) • Elaboration of Leaflets per country (mar 2005) IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  7. Workplan 2005 (2/2) • Institutional Capabilities Meeting … Today ! • Local bibliometrics  until feb 2006 • Fieldwork  until may 2006 • Research systems • Exact and natural sciences • Uses of science and innovation systems • Social sciences IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  8. Achievements • 6 months of setting-up partnerships in Med countries; • Policy people • Research community • Basic bibliometric work • Fine bibliometric analysis • Methodological guidelines for fieldwork • Website ESTIME IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  9. MED Partners-working teams 1/2 • Egypt • IRD Egypt • Academy of Science • Jordan • HCST • IFPO • University of Yarmouk • Lebanon • CNRS Lebanon • Lebanese University • IFPO Lebanon IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  10. MED Partners-working teams 2/2 • Algeria • CREAD • Morocco • Ministry of Higher Education and research • R&D Maroc • Fondation Abdul-Azziz • University of Agadir • IRD Morocco • Tunisia • Not identified • Palestine • One consultant IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  11. Bibliometrics • OST has advanced on basic bibliometric indicators – Scientific output, leaflets • IRD has advanced on “fine” indicators • Identification of sources for social sciences bibliometrics (Maghreb + Egypt) IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  12. Website ESTIME • Provisional site on IRD site • Information on the project • Interactive site • Public information • Exchange of information • Final site in an ESTIME Med country IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  13. Structure of ESTIME website IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  14. Next results • Before summer 2005: • Main Bibliometrics indicators • Listings of institutions • Partial analysis of documentary sources in social sciences • Some descriptions of research systems: Morocco, Algeria, Jordan IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  15. Further work in 2005 • What is expected ? • Fieldwork = interviews in labs and with researchers • Deskwork = gathering of input indicators • Country description of research systems • Statistical analysis of innovation surveys (Morocco and Jordan) IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  16. Difficulties • In some countries,contact is subordinated to an official request, by the EU • Need for a common understanding of the project • Additional effort needed on data on funding and manpower statistics IRD/Savoirs et Développement

  17. Choukran ! IRD/Savoirs et Développement
