| Abstract: | We use the emergent field of complex networks to analyze the network of scientific collaborations between entities (universities, research organizations, industry related companies,…) which collaborate in the context of the so-called framework programme. We demonstrate here that it is a scale-free network with an accelerated growth, which implies that the creation of new collaborations is encouraged. Moreover, these collaborations possess hierarchical modularity. Likewise, we find that the information flow depends on the size of the participants but not on geographical constraints. |
