INTRODUCTION EU LEGAL BASE ON R&D STATISTICS INDICATORS FOR MEASURЕMENT OF R&D ACTIVITY AT EU LEVEL STANDARDISED APPROACH FOR R&D AND GBAORDDATA COLLECTION CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FOR R&D AND GBAORD DATA PRODUCTION OUTCOMES FROM THE LATEST R&D NATIONAL SURVEYS
INTRODUCTIONMaking ERA a reality means:Realising a single labour market for researchers, with high levels of mobility between institutions, disciplines, sectors and countries Developing world-class research infrastructures, integrated networked and accessible to research teams from across Europe and the world through the development of new generations of electronic communication infrastructures
Making ERA a reality means:Strengthening research institutions, engaged in effective public-private cooperation and partnership, forming the core of research and innovation ‘clusters’Effectiveknowledge-sharing: open and easy access to the public knowledge base; knowledge transfer and cooperation between public research and industry
Making ERA a reality means:Optimising research programmes and priorities, including the joint programming, implementation and evaluation of public research investments at EU level on issues that go beyond the capacities of individual countriesA wide opening of ERA to the world, with special emphasis on neighbouring countries of the EU and a strong commitment to addressing global challenges with Europe’s partners
Establishment and development of a harmonised Community statistics on Research and Development (R&D) is very important as a evidence base for the development of the European Research Area and in order to enable measuring the progress achieved towards its realisation
Reliable and internationally comparable data of good quality on Research and Development for the Candidate Countries and potential Candidate Countries is needed for: EU accession negotiations Full integration in Community research policy Evaluation of their progress and position, in respect of R&D efforts, among the other EU and non-EU countries 2-3 October 2008 Belgrade
LEGAL BASE FOR ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF HARMONSED R&D STATISTICS AT EU LEVELFramework legal act: Decision № 1608/2003/EC of the EP and of the Council concerning the production and development of Community statistics on science and technologyLegal implementation measure: Commission Regulation № 753/2004implementing Decision № 1608/2003/EC of the EP and of the Council as regards statistics on science and technology 2-3 October 2008 Belgrade

STANDARDISED APPROACH FOR R&D AND GBAORDDATA COLLECTIONJoint OECD/Eurostat harmonised R & D questionnaire - reduction of burdenComprises 3 modules: Common Core OECD/Eurostat module ESTAT supplementary module OECD supplementary moduleGoes beyond the requirements of EU legal base: includes all variables defined in CR № 753/2004 (obligatory and optional) plus some additional highly required variables (voluntary) 2-3 October 2008 Belgrade
