Study of business participation and entrepreneurship in Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (FP7 and Horizon 2020)
Final report
Publication metadata
To assess the participation of businesses in the MSCA and the contribution of this programme to entrepreneurship, the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture of the European Commission launched this study of business participation and entrepreneurship in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (FP7 and Horizon 2020), which was undertaken in the wider framework of an ex-post
evaluation of the FP7 MCA and an interim evaluation of the MSCA part of Horizon 2020. The study had two objectives: To analyse business participation patterns and the underlying motivations and barriers for companies to participate in the MSCA projects, differentiating between large companies and SMEs as well as between different types of MSCA; To explore quantitatively and qualitatively the impact of the MSCA on innovation, entrepreneurship, job creation and inter-sectoral collaboration. The study relied on the evidence gathered and analysed using qualitative and quantitative methods, including desk research, statistical analysis of the monitoring data, a large-scale case study programme (50 case studies of the MSCA projects involving businesses and cross-case analysis), more than 300 interviews with various types of interviewees (EU and national-level stakeholders, business participants in the MSCA and representatives of unsuccessful business applicants), as well as surveys of the MSCA fellows and participating organisations. The study found many positive impacts of business participation in the MSCA on the careers of fellows, the participating organisations as well as the overall EU R&I ecosystem. Some selected examples of the major impacts include: around 47 % of all business beneficiaries indicated that as a result of their project at least one job (FTE equivalent) was created in their organisation; business participation significantly increased the chance of a patent application being registered as a result of the MSCA project; as a result of the MSCA, the vast majority (89 %) of businesses started to collaborate with at least one new academic organisation. The future outlook of business participation in the MSCA was also found to be very positive. The study revealed that the number of businesses interested in getting involved in the MSCA has increased over time: so far more businesses have already applied to participate in the MSCA under H2020 than during the entire FP7 programming period (2007-2013). Overall, most of the beneficiary business organisations, beneficiary fellows and other stakeholders interviewed during the study confirmed that the current programme design of the MSCA has no major deficiencies and includes some of the best instruments for business–research cooperation. The study also found that further improvements are necessary in order to meaningfully integrate entrepreneurship training in the MSCA and achieve the desired impacts. Among other things, the recommendations invited the Commission to: better define the overarching purposes and the suggested content of the entrepreneurship education to be provided under the programme; revise the conceptualisation and proposal evaluation of complementary skills training; initiate sharing of good practices on entrepreneurial education among the network of MSCA projects.
