Biotechnology in Central and Eastern Europe: An Overview of Performance and Policy Systems
International Library of Ethics Law and Technology(2012)
摘要
This chapter provides an overview of recent biotechnology developments in ten CEE countries which joined the EU in 2004 and
2007. The overview covers the period 2002–2005 and considers these countries’ performance in biotechnology as well as their
policies and funding for biotechnology research and commercialisation. The chapter presents data and indicators of biotechnology
performance, the arrangements for policy-making, the funding of biotechnology research and a discussion of the policy characteristics
likely to support the development of biotechnology S&T systems. Findings show that countries are developing capabilities in
biotechnology which contributes to a competence to absorb and utilise the knowledge that is being created in the rest of the
world. There is a trend to focus on research related to pharmaceutical biotechnology and its applications. However, this strategy
has limited potential to support economic growth in countries which lack a strong pharmaceutical sector. The study concludes
that CEE countries are more likely to gain economic benefits from their biotechnology research by identifying and supporting
several areas of biotechnology research relevant to strong economic sectors within their countries
