German-Polish Network-based R&D-Co-operation. Enablers and Barriers

Practice shows that international R&D cooperations between SMEs can be facilitated if they are initiated and supported systematically and purposefully by networks. The important point here is that the networks interested in cooperations have comparable stages of development and goals. Taking selected Polish and German networks as an example, it is shown where there exist especially high cooperation potentials, but also barriers, in the field of network-based R&D cooperations between Poland and Germany. The study is rounded off by examples of successful bilateral network cooperations.
