Science and Technology Indicators

This 'bible' of figures is published every two years by OST, the mission of which is to design and produce quantitative indicators about R&D in order to contribute to France's strategic positioning in Europe and in the world, as well as to analysing R&D systems.

The latest report comprises five parts presenting R&D expenditures, scientific and technical skills and scientific outputs (publications, patents) in France, in French regions, in Europe, in major European regions and in the world. It also includes two comparisons: the first one between France, Germany and the United Kingdom; the second one between the European Union, the United States and Japan.
