Capitolo: “Government R&D Funding Policy for Academic Research in Italy: Are There Incentives for Climate Change Solutions?”

É stato pubblicato il capitolo “Government R&D Funding Policy for Academic Research in Italy: Are There Incentives for Climate Change Solutions?” a cura di Emanuela Reale e Andrea Orazio Spinello per il libro, edito da Palgrave Macmillan, “Higher Education Policy for Tackling Climate Change: Drivers, Dynamics, and Effects” a cura di Jouni Kekäle e Rómulo Pinheiro.

The aim of this chapter is to shed light on the structure and the effects of the government R&D policies in Italy for sustaining or increasing academic research on topics related to climate change. We apply a conceptual framework based on the “opportunity approach” to the Italian R&D funding system for academic research to learn more about the effectiveness of potential incentives for climate change research.
