1.2 Innovation Statistics: Why?

Medium-term objective of the International Review of S&T Statistics & Indicators 2002-03;

May provide information on the business sector in developing countries that R&D statistics won’t supply;

Many developing countries recently starting to carry out innovation surveys;

UIS has a natural coordinating role as UN lead agency on S&T statistics.

www.uis.unesco.org

The UIS strategy on Innovation Statistics

Inventory of innovation surveys in developing countries;

Pilot data collection (in 15 countries in June 2011);

2013: Regular data collection every two years;

Online worldwide database;

Analysis and publications;

Capacity building and training activities;

Methodological developments and survey help;

In partnership with international and regional organisations (ASEAN, AU/NEPAD, Eurostat, OECD, RICYT, …).

– Will be presented separately

www.uis.unesco.org

2. Capacity building

There are many problems:

Lack of understanding of importance of S&T (indicators)

Lack of political will and action

Lack of coordination

Lack of trained personnel

High staff turnover

www.uis.unesco.org

Capacity building (2)

Measurement problems:

Measuring “real effort” (full-time equivalents)

Private sector R&D

Budget data vs. surveys

Role of foreign entities

www.uis.unesco.org

S&T statistics workshops

Increase the number of countries regularly producing quality S&T indicators.

Create local capacities and establish sustainable local S&T statistics systems.

Promote the use of S&T indicators for evidence-based S&T policy making.

Share experiences with other developing countries and address problems.

Gain knowledge about the particular characteristics of S&T statistics data.

Demonstrate good practices in other countries of the region.

www.uis.unesco.org

UIS S&T Statistics workshops

2005: Uganda, India

2006: Indonesia, Senegal, Kazakhstan

2007: Tunisia, FYR of Macedonia, Jordan, Russia, Cameroon

2008: Oman, Cambodia, Botswana

2009: Kenya, Egypt

2010: Mali, Syria, Jordan*, Uzbekistan, Ethiopia*, Nepal

2011: Grenada, Gabon, Azerbaijan*, Vietnam

But also contributing to similar workshops of partner organisations (e.g. RICYT, NEPAD, other partner orgs)

www.uis.unesco.org

Countries that have participated in UNESCO S&T statistics workshops 2005-2011

Countries and territories not yet covered

Countries and territories not targeted

Countries and territories covered

www.uis.unesco.org

Results of workshops

Increased response rate – non-responding countries learn how to do it from UIS and neighbours.

Immediate problems solved.

Increased data quality – improved understanding of application of international standards.

Face to face contacts = more effective networking.

Inputs to UIS programme development.

www.uis.unesco.org

3. Standard setting/methodological developments

Measuring R&D in Developing Countries: Technical Guide and Annex to the Frascati Manual (2010)

• Will be presented separately

Measuring Innovation in Developing countries: Annex to the Oslo Manual (2005)

• Will be presented separately

Careers of Doctoral Holders – CDH (since 2004)

www.uis.unesco.org

The careers of doctorate holders survey (CDH)

A joint project with the OECD and Eurostat.

Methodology developed “from scratch”.

Aimed both at developed and developing countries.

With participation from experts from both developed and developing countries.

Promoting the methodology by encouraging developing countries to conduct such surveys and produce cross-nationally comparable statistics on careers of doctorate holders.

www.uis.unesco.org

Relevance of the CDH project

Focus on the crucial role of highly qualified individuals who represent a key to the production, application and transmission of knowledge.

Statistics on the global trends in human resources for Science and Technology (HRST) very weak.

Quality and comparability of international data on migration is particularly weak.

Diversity of data collection methods hinders international comparability, and does not provide information on career paths and mobility patterns.

www.uis.unesco.org

Objectives of CDH

Objectives:

To design an internationally comparable tool for tracking the careers of doctorates holders and highly qualified people in different countries.

To collect and exchange information on the career paths of holders of doctorates from existing data sources and the new survey tool.

Way forward

There is still a lot to do!

UIS needs to keep direct contact with statisticians: Quality and relevance.

Countries to establish sustainable S&T statistics systems, involving line ministries (S&T Ministries or Research Councils) and National Statistical Offices.

Looking forward to further cooperation.
