Institutes involved in R&D policy: The Ministry of Education and Science (MES) is the government body responsible for R&D policy in the Republic of Macedonia The MES has the responsibility to organise, finance, develop and promote science, technological development, as well as international co-operation related to these issues.

Production of S&T&I statistics: State Statistical Office of the Republic of Macedonia is responsible body for collecting, processing and dissemination of S&T&I statistics Sector for Social statistics-Department for social services (crime and public statistics, social protection, health statistics, education and science)

  8. Two statistical surveys 1.Statistical survey for scientific and research - development activity - annual survey 2. Innovation ( survey for reporting units ) – five-year survey

  9. HISTORY The survey for research and development began in 1968 From 1997 the methodology for conduction of the scientific and research- development activity survey is changed according to the Frascati manual

  10. Harmonization Classifications are harmonized with international standards: ISCED, Classification of Scientific Fields-2001, according to UNESCO and OECD methodology and CERIF), NACE that provide international comparison of the data

  11. R&D Personnel and Expenditure are processed according to: • Sector of performance • Type of employment • Gender • Age • Part time • Full time

  12. FTE • Professional attainment • Ethnic affiliation • Field of science • ISIC • Personnel and expenditure by region

  13. Response rate For 2006, the total received reports were 85.9 %. Response rate is decreasing. The publication for 2007 is in the phase or preparation and will be ready at the end of October 2008

  14. Users of R&D data Ministry of Education and Science OECD Eurostat UNESCO Others

  15. Innovation statistics The research is carried out in 2005 Methodological materials are obtained from Eurostat on our request The results were published in 2007. The response rate is 64.4%

  16. R&D Intensity (%) of GDP by Sector of Performance

  17. GERD as % of GDP (comparison by countries)

  18. Structure of Gross Expenditure on R&D by sectors of performance

  19. R&D Personnel by sector of performance

  20. FTE by sector of performance

  21. FTE/Labor Force

  22. Obstacles Science and technology are still a low priority in national system Our academic and scientific community do not pay enough attention for these indicators although there are several public institutes funded by the state to conduct such analyzes Even at the governmental level there is not enough awareness for the importance of these indicators In general there is a lack of interest for S&T&I Statistics and Indicators.

  23. Obstacles In the sphere of production of statistics: Statistical office is understaffed in this area, only one person is responsible for the survey Missing of data for some key institutions, that reflects to the quality of the data (especially in Business Sector and Natural Sciences)

  24. Needs Increasing the awareness for the importance of S&T&I Indicators, especially at Government level More intensive collaboration between the stakeholders (Government, MES, SSO and responding units, especially cooperation with R&D unit in Business sector) Improvement of internal capabilities for production of S&T&I statistics, the quality of the R&D data, increase of coverage of the survey, training of staff – in SSO for analyzing the data and in MES for using of the bibliometrics data
