Total number of R&D personnel

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.
All persons working directly for R&D (research & development) should be counted, as well as persons providing services directly, such as managers and administrative staff working for R&D. Persons providing services indirectly, such as canteen and security personnel, are not included, even though their wages are included in the measurement of expenditures as overhead costs.
R&D personnel should be distinguished from personnel for a wide range of related activities, such as:
- personnel employed for research and training,
- personnel employed for other scientific and technological activities (e.g., information, testing and standardization, feasibility studies, etc.),
- personnel employed in other industrial activities (e.g. industrial innovation n.e.c.),
- personnel engaged in administrative and other indirect support activities.
