Researchers at full-time equivalent (FTE) (No.) in institutions and enterprises with research and development by Geographic localization (NUTS - 2013), Sex and Sector of performance; Annual - MCTES/GPEARI, R&D (institutional sector and enterprises sector)
Note(s):
(1) In 2008, there is a series break, due to the process of articulation of information of R&D with the monitoring system of higher education teachers, this sector includes the R&D activities of teachers (not reported by R&D centers). In 2013, there is a new series break, due to the reclassification of some Private non-profit institutions in to Higher Education sector. Also in 2013, data on human resources in R&D by function reflect a series decline compared to previous years due to the revision of R&D personnel categories. The categories of researcher, technician and other support staff have been defined according to the main functions performed within R&D activities, according to ISCO classification criteria, rather than being defined solely by the level of academic qualification. This review has resulted in an increase in staffing in the categories of technicians and other R&D support staff to the detriment of researchers. In 2016, the "Personnel Expenditure" and "Other Current Expenses" data reflect a series break compared to previous years due to the re-appropriation in this last item of expenditure on external R&D staff in the units/enterprises according to the recommendations of the Frascati Handbook (2015). This series break, however, does not affect the annual comparability of total R&D expenditure.
From 2022, in the enterprise sector, there was a change in the statistical unit observed, which now considers the enterprise defined as an organizational unit for the production of goods or services, which can be a combination of several legal units; previously, was used the legal unit as statistical unit for the enterprise sector.
(2) From January 1st, 2015 came into force a new version of NUTS (NUTS 2013). At NUTS II level was just a name change in "Lisboa" which became known as "Área Metropolitana de Lisboa".
(3) In enterprises sector the data for 2003 and 2005 by region are estimated. This estimation uses, as basis for calculation, the percentage distribution of R&D expenses of total enterprises by the various municipalities where their R&D activities are developed.
(4) Data on human resources in R&D and expenditure on R&D since 2009 were revised as a consequence of a diverse interpretation of concept of researcher comparing to originally used. This revision increased the international comparability of the data as well as the comparability with the remaining years of the national time series (initiated in 2008).
