Abstract: The participation of higher education institutions (HEIs) in European Community Framework Programmes is examined. An interpretative framework is developed for the analysis of the mechanisms that are driving the selection of participants for the Framework Programmes. As the quality of applicants is an unobservable characteristic the relevance of information signalling is stressed The selection process is influenced in a distinct way by cumulative and self-reinforcement mechanisms. The description and preliminary analysis of the HEIs that have participated in at least one project of the Framework Programmes enables a pattern of university financing to be identified that is consistent with the delineated framework.
