1. 3.4 Any other business, R&D
Working Group Meeting on Statistics on Science, Technology and Innovation Luxembourg, November 2012

2. Publicly funded ICT R&D
TF on R&D (26/04/2012) discussed the feasibility to provide more complete data on publicly funded ICT R&D (BERD cross-breakdown by industry and by source of funds)
The aim is to provide stronger statistical support for measuring key performance target set by “Digital Agenda for Europe” - by 2020, annual public investment in ICT R&D to double its current (2007) EU level

3. Conclusions from the TF on R&D (26/04/2012)
“It was agreed that by the end of September 2012:
All the countries will produce and send to Eurostat data in Table CE10-ISIC4-NACE2 of the joint core Eurostat/OECD Questionnaire (“Total intramural business enterprise R&D expenditure (BERD) by industry and source of funds”)
This data will be compiled since reference year 2007 onwards (if feasible in accordance with NACE Rev.2), but at least for 2009”

5. The members of the WGM on S&T are invited to:
Comment on their plans and timing for providing missing data in Table CE10-ISIC4-NACE2, since reference year 2007 onwards
Consider that data provision in Table CE10 should continue on a systematic basis as part of the regular R&D data collection rounds

6. Transnationally coordinated R&D
Eurostat launched third round of experimental data collection in May 2012
Eurostat provided the countries with:
List of joint R&D programmes (Europe-wide, bilateral and multilateral) established by the JOREP project (DG RTD's study)
Methodological Report on Data Quality of JOREP
Data (updates) required for the period plus the names of transnational public R&D performers and programmes covered in the last reference year 2010

7. Outcomes from the third round
Reduced data gaps and improved data quality
Increased data availability
26 countries sent data (compared to 22 in the second round): 22 MSs, NO, CH, HR and MK
4 MSs sent data for first time - LV, MT, SE and UK
Missing data for 5 MSs (DK, GR, FR, IT, LU) IS and TR

8. Outcomes from the third round
Improved completeness
Incomplete data - only for MK
Improved data quality and comparability
Most of the countries fine-tuned the data based on the list of joint R&D programmes established by the JOREP project (DG RTD's study)
