Abstract
The present paper aims to analyse which factors determine the participation of Spanish firms within international R&D consortia granted by the EU Framework Programme in comparison with other cooperation alternatives. Empirical results show that firms with a critical mass in R&D resources, with a consolidated network position at the national level, y with strong linkages with universities have a higher probability of being involved in FP consortia than in other type of technological alliances. It is also confirmed that the higher risk associated with knowledge spillovers discourages firms from joining international consortia.
