(5a) A decisive factor for a region's development is its capacity for innovation, which in turn depends heavily on research and development. The lack of outstanding research facilities that might attract both top international scientists and their own next generation of researchers poses a serious barrier to development in many regions. Almost all of Europe's regions have a successful diaspora of scientists working at the best research institutions in the world, including outside Europe. It will benefit the whole European Innovation Union if these talented people return. The ERDF should therefore support all the efforts made by the regions to set up such research institutions in an innovation- friendly environment. All possible synergies with 'Horizon 2020' should be exploited, in particular where regions apply for support under the 'Horizon 2020' programme by, for example, taking part in a competition for the creation of outstanding research institutions alongside an existing top research body. It is only through such measures that new institutions can become centres of gravity that will attract innovative enterprises and develop into a nucleus for research and innovation clusters.
