inspire research analysed bibliometric data on Austrian publications from 2013 to 2022 with regard to visibility, resonance and cooperation with companies and compared publications whose underlying research was funded by different funding organisations. For the comparisons we analysed information on ERC-, MSCA-, H2020-, ERDF-, FWF-, CDG-, COMET- and other FFG-funded research publications in the bibliometric datasets.

With the Clinical Trials programme, the German Research Foundation (DFG) has been funding the implementation of clinical trials since 2013, regardless of the topic and for a limited period of time. The aim of the funding is to provide proof of efficacy for a therapeutic, diagnostic or prognostic procedure. The DFG commissioned inspire research to evaluate the programme. The evaluation focuses on four areas: 1) appropriateness of the proposal evaluation & selection process, 2) opportunities and risks during the study, 3) assessment of study results & impacts and 4) needs of the community and structural framework conditions, which are systematically analysed empirically for the further development of the DFG funding programme.
With the Energie.Frei.Raum programme, the BMIMI (formerly BMK) is for the first time funding projects that make use of regulatory exceptions to existing legal provisions in the energy sector (regulatory sandboxes). The aim of regulatory sandboxes is to test innovative concepts and solutions on the basis of which legislators and regulators can later make appropriate changes to the regulatory framework if necessary. The focus of the programme is therefore to support regulatory learning. inspire research evaluated the experience to date with the programme, the effects achieved and developed proposals for the further implementation of the programme.
Final report
On behalf of the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna (Vetmeduni), inspire research conducted a bibliometric analysis of the university’s publication activity in the years 2018 to 2023 in cooperation with the University Library at the University of Vienna. The Vetmeduni was compared with two other internationally leading specialised veterinary universities in terms of productivity, visibility, impact and collaborations. The bibliometric analyses were also used to demonstrate the possibilities and limitations of using a freely accessible and usable citation database in comparison to the leading closed, commercial citation database for bibliometric analyses.
