  2. INTRODUCTION METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK DATA REQUIREMENTS  DATA AVAILABILITY  DATA QUALITY  DATA ACCESS  RESULTS / RECENT DATA 14 September 2010

  3. METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK HARMONISED R&D CONCEPTS, DEFINITIONS AND CLASSIFICATIONSFRASCATI MANUAL (OECD, 2002) - Proposed Standard Practice for Surveys on R&D http://www.oecd.org/document/6/0,3343,en_2649_34451_33828550_1_1_1_1,00.html SSH - incorporated in the third edition (OECD, 1976), adopted in 1974New sub-section 2.4.2. Identifying R&D in SSH - included in the sixth edition (OECD, 2002) FOS classification- Table 3.2 in FM (2002) 14 September 2010

  4. METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK REVISED FOS CLASSIFICATION (FOS 2007)  At 1-digit level: - no change (continuity of time series) At 2-digits level: - split of categories ‘other’ of SSH into several sub-categories - detailed description of the content of the categories FOS 2007 - available on Eurostat's Metadata Server RAMONhttp://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/nomenclatures/index.cfm?TargetUrl=LST_NOM&StrLanguageCode=EN&IntFamilyCode= 14 September 2010

  5. DATA REQUIREMENTS EU LEGAL BASEFramework legal act: Decision № 1608/2003/EC of the EP and of the Council concerning the production and development of Community statistics on S&TLegal implementation measure:Commission Regulation № 753/2004 implementing Decision № 1608/2003/EC as regards statistics on S&TList of R&D indicators; status of the indicators (obligatory/ optional); breakdowns; classifications; measurement units (HC, FTE, mio national currency); periodicity; timeliness  VOLUNTARY DATA COLLECTION 14 September 2010

  6. DATA REQUIREMENTS INPUT R&D INDICATORS ON SSH 6 14 September 2010

  7. DATA REQUIREMENTSSTANDARDISED APPROACH FOR DATA COLLECTIONJOINT OECD/EUROSTAT HARMONISED R&D QUESTIONNAIRE Goes beyond the requirements of EU legal base - Incorporation of 2-digits FOS 2007Data validation rules in place within the questionnaireConfidential data provision Received from 33 countries: 27 MSs; HR,TR,CH, IS, NO and RU DATA SOURCES IN MEMBER STATES Sample/census surveys, administrative sources or others of equivalent quality, or their mixtures, subsidiary principle 14 September 2010

  8. R&D DATA AVAILABILITY ON SSH Based on March 2010 R&D data collection 8 14 September 2010

  9. MAJOR GAPSAt 1-digit of FOS GOV and HES: Few missing countries BES and PNP: Incomplete data (half of the EU MSs) No estimates available for EU-27 aggregates At 2-digits of FOS GOV and HES: Partial data (¼ of the EU MSs) BES and PNP: Scarce data (4 EU MSs) 9 14 September 2010

  10. MAJOR GAPSHC vs FTE Total vs gender breakdown Obligatory vs optional indicatorsLow frequency of data provision (four yearly, biennially)Old (not updated) data for few countries (2002/2003) Missing data for the past years (short time series) for some countries No significant difference in data availability 10 14 September 2010

  11. MAJOR GAPSEUROSTAT COMPLIANCE MONITORING PROCESSEvaluation of completeness and timeliness of the R&D data obligatory required under Commission Regulation № 753/2004 Annual compliance monitoring reports presented at the Working Group Meetings on S&T&ILetters of complaints to the Member States in case of defaults 14 September 2010

  12. DATA QUALITYEUROSTAT QUALITY MONITORING AND EVALUATION PROCESSEurostat software tool for reporting and disseminating electronically  R&D metadataand quality information National Quality Reports on R&D statisticsDeviations from FM recommendations / Quality drawbacks -SSH surveyed as one common category - Coverage inconsistency (inclusion of ‘Psychology’ and ‘Educational sciences’ in ‘Humanities’) 12 14 September 2010

  13. DATA ACCESSWHERE TO FIND R&D STATISTICS on SSH? EUROSTAT DATABASE theme Science and Technologyhttp://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/statistics/search_database Time series since 1980 37 countries: 27 MSs; HR,TR,CH,IS,NO,RU,US, CN, JP and KR  PUBLICATIONS Statistical Book on S&T&I Pocketbook on S&T&I Statistics in Focus News release http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/publications/recently_published EUROSTAT WEBPAGE  STATISTICS EXPLAINED category Science and Technologyhttp://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php/Category:Science_and_technology 13 14 September 2010
