Abstract

This paper analyses the competitiveness of European Union (EU) Member States (MS) in terms of research and innovation from the perspective of attracting EU funding for research, as well as from the viewpoint of key science and innovation performance indicators over the 2007–2015 period. This period corresponds to the seventh EU framework programme for research and innovation (FP7, 2007–2013) and the beginning of the new EU programme for research and innovation, Horizon 2020 (2014– 2020). The paper also analyses the performance of EU Member States in attracting EU competitive funding for research and innovation and the creation of knowledge (i.e., excellence in S&T; innovation performance), considering these two dimensions essential for the catching up process and a durable competitive economy. The research methodology developed and calculated performance indicators using data provided by official sources of the European Commission (EC). The analysis considered all EU Member States, with a special focus on four states from Central and Eastern Europe- Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland and Romania, i.e., two MS that joined the EU in 2004 (Hungary and Poland) and two MS that joined the EU in 2007 (Bulgaria and Romania).
