Evaluation of the Innovation Programs Financed by World Bank in Croatia

The Science and Technology Project (STP) financed by the World Bank was designed to help Croatia unleash its innovative potential, to enhance public financing for business R&D and foster the commercialization of public R&D. The goal of this research report is to assess the effectiveness of the STP programs RAZUM, IRCRO and UKF. This task is performed by each program separately by means of qualitative and quantitative research. Apart from attempting to asses additionality, this report considers other aspects of the program, like attitude toward the program, satisfaction, motives for application and expected benefits.
