Note(s):
(1) 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.
