Abstract
Financial promotion of cooperative pre-competiüve research and development (R&D) (collaborative research) has gained significance in the last few years as a tool in technological intervention policy. If technology is to benefit from what has been learnt, then the evaluation of such a tool is of relevance. Chapter 1 of this paper begins with an overview of the promotion of collaborative research - its origins, its justification and its objectives. Chapter 2 follows up with evaluations of this promotion concept up to now in the Federal Republic of Germany and compares the research strategies of these evaluations. The evaluation of promotion in the case of Microsystems Technology collaborative research concludes this paper (Chapter 3). Methods, research questions, selected results and previous experiences are all dealt with in more detail. This evaluation differs from previous evaluations in this field in its time-span, its formative actor, and in its new methods of approach.
