Introduction The regional indicators presented in this document complement the ''National Facts and Figures'' 1. The regional level focussed on is NUTS2 2 and key indicators for the regions in the country are provided related to the macro economy, Framework Programme 7 (FP7) and the Structural Funds (2007 2013). The document allows the capacity of individual regions to be better understood and the regions place in the national context can be studied when used in conjunction with the national figures. The purpose of this document overlaps with the ''National facts and figures'' in that it provides data to address the following questions: What is the overall position of the territory in terms of FP7 budget captured and Structural funds dedicated to R&I? What are the specialisation areas emerging from FP7 participation? What are the main R&I stakeholders involved in EU programmes? These ''Complementary Regional Indicators'' are provided for those countries for which the regional level has some important but limited relevance. For other countries the regional level is not important and no complementary indicators are provided. For one country, namely Poland, the regional level is important and detailed ''Regional facts and figures'' are provided. Macro-economic Indicators Disparities exist between territories within a country. These disparities impact on the capacity of participants to be involved in EU programmes such as FP7/Horizon 2020, the funding rate of EU regional funding, the funding absorption capacity and specialisation pattern at territorial level. Table 1 gathers some macro-economic indicators extracted Eurostat in order to characterise the regions.

The specialisation areas showed in the following table come up from the FP7 participation of beneficiaries based in Regions. Methodology is the following: we consider there is an FP7 specialisation i n a specific area when we observe an over-distribution in this area compared to the standardized distribution of the budget in the FP7. The table is result of the comparison of the weight of each theme in the total funding received by the Region/country with the corresponding weight in the whole FP7.

The table also shows the priority themes associate to the funding. There are ten priority themes identified as RTDI: 1. R&TD activities in research centres 2. R&TD infrastructure and centres of competence in a specific technology 3. Technology transfer and improvement of cooperation networks 4. Assistance to R&TD, particularly in SMEs (including access to R&TD services in research centres) 5. Advanced support services for firms and groups of firms 6. Assistance to SMEs for the promotion of environmentally-friendly products and production processes 7. Investment in firms directly linked to research and innovation 8. Other investment in firms 9. Other measures to stimulate research and innovation and entrepreneurship in SMEs 74. Developing human potential in the field of research a nd innovation, in particular through postgraduate studies There are only four regional whose OP has RTDI funding. Most RTDI funding is associated with Czech national OPs.

The Operational Programmes (OPs) can be national, regional and in some cases multi-regional. This can present problems as while the regional OPs mean that the funding can be assigned to the NUTS2 region for the national OPs this was frequently not the case with only the national level indicated or a NUTS1 region. In order to have an idea of the total RTDI funding allocated to projects in a region the national or NUTS1 funding was disaggregated based on the appropriate population proportions for the NUTS2 region. Therefore, the figures in Table 6 are based on the assumption that the funding allocated is proportional to the population and are therefore estimations intended to provide an approximation of the funding breakdown. 6
