%X innovation is increasingly becoming an internationalized process and a strategy that has recently been playing a central role in this scenario is that of r&d collaboration. to assess the outcomes of this strategy we develop an evaluation of eureka programme¡¯s impact for the case of spanish companies participating in this initiative and that had projects finished in the period 2000-2005. a total of 77 firms were assessed through statistical association methods and cluster analysis. company size, role in the project, firm sector and r&d intensity are significantly associated with the projects¡¯ impacts on spanish participants. a consistent taxonomy is offered in which three clusters are built: (1) risky innovators; (2) inventors; and (3) consistent innovators.
