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.

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.
