  1. Guidelines to Surveys on R&D (Frascati Manual)Launch Workshop of the Qatar R&D Survey: s3Four Seasons Hotel, Doha, Qatar28 to 30 October 20123 Michael Kahn Research and Innovation Associates, South Africa

  2. The R&D Survey • Official project of QSA – covered by the Qatar Statistics Act No 2 of 2011 • Compliant with OECD Frascati Manual guidelines • Targets performers of in-house R&D • Captures data on inputs: personnel and finance • Also seeks basic information on R&D outputs • Project Duration: November 2013 – October 2014

  3. What counts as R&D • Research and experimental development (R&D) comprises creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications. • Basic, applied research, and experimental development • Natural sciences, technology, social science and humanities – subject to exclusions • Related Scientific & Technological Activities excluded

  4. Excluded • S&T Education and Training (STET) • S&T Information and Documentation (STID) • Routine S&T Services (STS) • Testing • Mapping • Surveys • Database management & debugging • Software development • Policy-related research • Monitoring and evaluation

  5. The services sector is important everywhere, but tends to be neglected in the R&D Surveys of many countries. Services may account for significant levels of R&D e.g. up to 30% of BERD (Australia) • The growth of mobile telephony semi-monopolies, local banks, insurance and retail chains requires the ability to develop and integrate software solutions. • Software engineering may involve the construction of unique algorithms that are part of the intangible value of a firm. The development of this intellectual property leads to commercial benefit, and is definable as R&D.
