Total intra-mural R&D expenditure

Research and experimental development includes creative work undertaken systematically to increase the body of knowledge, including knowledge of people, culture and society, and the use of this knowledge to develop new applications.
Intra-mural expenditures include all R&D (research and development) expenditures undertaken within the unit, regardless of the source of funds.
R&D spending should be distinguished from spending on a wide range of related activities, such as:
- expenditures on education and training,
- expenditures on other scientific and technological activities (e.g., information, testing and standardization, feasibility studies, etc.),
- expenditures on other industrial activities (e.g., industrial innovation n.e.c.),
- expenditures on purely financial activities (including administrative and other indirect support activities).
In-house expenditures are valued at the cost of production and include all operating expenses, including labor and capital expenditures.
