EFIL - European dataset of public R&D funding instruments

EFIL aims at enabling users to investigate public R&D funding in Europe at the level of project funding instruments and research funding organizations (RFO), addressing questions related to policy design and policy implementation. Objectives of EFIL are: (i) re-composing and characterizing the portfolios of funding instruments of relevant RFOs from selected European countries (AT; CH; CZ; DE; DK; EE; FR; IT; NO; UK); (ii) producing evidence of the structural and allocational aspects of funding instruments.
The dataset provides a set of descriptors with an emphasis on a general characterization of the instrument (aim, mode of funding, composition of the decision-making body, etc.); funding allocation criteria and eligible beneficiaries; and funding amounts allocated. A peculiar feature of the facility is the possibility to characterize the instruments through key words and vocabularies. Indeed, the facility is complemented by a repository of official documents hosted on a cloud -composed of instrument calls, guidelines for participants, descriptions on official webpages, etc. - that is accessible to the database user.
EFIL is integrated in the European Research Infrastructure for Science and Innovation policy Studies (RISIS), interlinked with registers and datasets, such as OrgREG - which provides a comprehensive register of public-sector research and higher education organizations in European countries - , NATPRO (a module of the EUPRO database) - a data resource on national R&D projects, and SIPER - a repository on STI evaluation reports.
This registered version (2.0) corresponds to the dataset completed as part of the H2020-RISIS 2 project (2019–2024) and follows the initial release (1.0), launched in 2022. EFIL 1.0 conducted data collection using 2017 and 2018 as reference years for the re-composition of portfolios. In release 2.0, a second wave of data collection has been completed, updating data up to 2021. Budgetary data cover the period 2010–2021.
EFIL is accessible free of charge through RCF (RISIS Core Facility, https://rcf.risis.io). To gain access, users must submit a 200-word project proposal outlining the intended use of the dataset. The proposal is reviewed by both the dataset manager and the RISIS review board, which provides the final approval for access.

EFIL旨在支持用户从项目资助工具与研究资助机构（Research Funding Organizations, RFO）层面开展欧洲公共研发资助调研，以解答政策设计与政策实施相关的各类问题。EFIL的目标如下：(i) 重构并刻画来自选定欧洲国家（奥地利AT、瑞士CH、捷克CZ、德国DE、丹麦DK、爱沙尼亚EE、法国FR、意大利IT、挪威NO、英国UK）的相关研究资助机构的资助工具组合；(ii) 揭示资助工具的结构性与配置性特征。
本数据集提供一系列描述项，重点涵盖资助工具的通用刻画（如目标、资助模式、决策机构构成等）、资助配置标准与合格受益方，以及实际拨付的资助额度。该工具的一项独特特性在于，可通过关键词与词汇表对资助工具进行表征。事实上，该工具配套了云端托管的官方文档库——包含资助征集公告、参与者指南、官方网页说明等内容——可供数据库用户访问。
EFIL隶属于欧洲科学与创新政策研究基础设施（European Research Infrastructure for Science and Innovation policy Studies, RISIS），并与多个登记库及数据集互联互通，例如：OrgREG——欧洲各国公共部门研究与高等教育机构综合登记库；NATPRO（EUPRO数据库的一个模块）——面向国家研发项目的数据集资源；以及SIPER——科学、技术与创新（Science, Technology and Innovation, STI）评估报告库。
本次发布的2.0注册版对应2019—2024年地平线2020-RISIS 2项目所完成的数据集，其前身为2022年推出的1.0初始版本。EFIL 1.0以2017年与2018年为参考年份开展数据采集，用于重构资助工具组合。在2.0版本中，第二轮数据采集工作已完成，将数据更新至2021年。预算数据覆盖2010—2021年区间。
用户可通过RISIS核心设施（RISIS Core Facility, RCF，https://rcf.risis.io）免费访问EFIL。如需获取访问权限，用户需提交一份200字左右的项目提案，阐明数据集的预期用途。该提案将由数据集管理员与RISIS评审委员会共同审核，由后者最终批准访问权限。

背景与挑战

背景概述

EFIL是一个欧洲公共研发资金工具数据集，专注于调查欧洲公共研发资金在项目资金工具和研究资助组织层面的情况，覆盖多个欧洲国家（如奥地利、瑞士、捷克等）从2010年至2021年的数据。其特点包括通过关键词和词汇库描述资金工具，并与其他RISIS数据集（如OrgREG和SIPER）集成，以支持政策设计和实施的分析。
