The main objective of OMEN project (Optimal Practices, Development Policies and Predictive Models for regions in an Enlarge) is to develope a complete system of assesment and monitoring of effectivity of the results and benchmarking of Regional innovation strategy. The monitoring system has to be based on the relevant indicators defined pursuant to the wide concensus of the innovation actors in the region. The system will give a systematic overview of effectivity of the regional innovation policies and also an assesment of the efficiency and the responsibility of particular components of the innovative supportive system of the region.

The project is a part of an EU initiative aimed at coordinating national research programmes (ERA-NET schemes). The objective of the ForSociety project is to enable coordination among national foresight programmes, with a view to increase their national and European impact and to implement joint programmes

LocoMotive (Dissemination of knowledge concerning current R&D localisation motives of large regionally important private sector organisations) is the project within tthe activity "Regions of Knowledge" of the 6. Framework Programme. The project is focused on problems of investments in research and development of the large private companies in a given region and on comparison of situation and trends in the other European regions. The main aim of the project is to help creating effective policies for supporting the investments of private sector in research and development within the regional level. The project should contribute to improving and fordizing the regional and national policies, which will advance the atractivity of European regions for the investments of large private companies in research and development.
