Abstract
The paper analyses the properties of the networks constructed by the projects funded by Horizon2020 in four research areas, namely internal combustion engines for hybrid electric vehicles, batteries for electric vehicles, advanced functional materials, and power electronics for automotive applications. Social Network Analysis is used to determine the network properties and the centrality measures of the nodes to identify the most important actors. The analysis is complemented with publication and patent data to investigate if participation in Horizon2020 projects influences research and innovation performance of higher education and research organisations. The results indicate that projects are formed by the same core of key partners, located in or around the main centres of automotive manufacturing in Europe, with the exception of the former Eastern European countries.
