This programme produced 197,951 publications, including themandatoryscientificreportsperproject (deliverables), andevidencing a significant variation: anywhere between 1 and 1,412 reports fromone project to another. Therewere also 1,700 requestsmade for patents,with companies owning 50%of them.Sadly, there isno trackingoffiling registrationor resolution todeter- mine their progress. Similarly, 7,400 commodification designsweremade, which arenevermonitoredby thefinancingagent. Fromascientificpoint of view,50,000 researcherswere registered inasystemthat identifies research(RTDtype)asevery- thing that isnotmanagement (MGT). Included in thenon-MGTcategoriesare soft- waredevelopment,productmaintenance,publication, etc.,without it allnecessarily being scientific. Lastly, 10,000 doctoral studentswere registered and 1,480 theses (14.8%)werepresented for review.
