AERO‐UA Survey “Barriers to aeronautic research collaboration
between EU and Ukraine partners”
Results

• Aim: to identify available barriers + to create a background for recommendations on facilitation of long-term EU-UA aviation research collaboration
• Data collected from respondents: • Personal profile + Organisation Profile • Awareness, experience and expectations regarding EU-UA
aviation research collaboration • Opinion regarding the barriers to EU-UA aviation research
collaboration • Ideas regarding the measures to facilitate EU-UA research
collaboration
• Questionnaire: 50+ questions, 30+ minutes
• Duration: 3+ months (26/12/2016‐12/04/2017) 2
AERO‐UA Survey (in brief)
Ukrainian Aeronautic Community vs
AERO‐UA Survey Respondents
600+ actors invited
65 responses
Reasons: • Too complex questions? • Too busy? • Not interested in EU collaboration? • Don’t believe in survey efficiency? • What else?

Level of influence
Other factors influencing motivation to collaborate
Negative • Time and efforts limits • National legal/financial
limitations • Language barrier • End‐users low interest • EU certification costs • Lack of info about
EU‐professionals & H2020 • Evaluation non‐transparent
Positive • Long‐term professional
experience at national level
• Successful collaboration with EU companies (avionics, Austria)
11
Barrier 2: Lack of awareness of European collaboration
KEY info required: • List of EU institutions
working in aerospace area
• List of actual problems in aeronautics
• List of EU projects, included to prospective programs of aeronautic research
Level of awareness:

Barrier 3: Lack of human resources or talents
Is it true?
13
Barrier 4: Lack of facilities, computer hardware and software
Barrier 5: International travel limitations (1)
Do you travel internationally?
Barrier 5: International travel limitations (2)
Why you don’t travel internationally?
OTHER reasons: • Lack of EU contacts • EU colleagues are not
interested in collaboration with Ukraine
• Financial reasons (fees)

Barrier 6: Lack of funding

Barrier 8: Legal and financial barriers Level of influence on
collaboration with EU:
• UA Budget Code – project money are treating as “governmental money”, no responsibility
• UA state limitations in project money usage
• Low support from UA government (MES)
• Low level of EU‐UA research programs coordination
