Data Characteristics Other data characteristics Other data characteristicsA substantial proportion of R&D expenditure and R&D personnel reported in the data for the business enterprise sector are performed/employed in public enterprises (57.4% and 62% respectively for the year 2003).
The higher education sector includes faculty hospitals. For some of these hospitals, as well as for other types of medical centres, there are problems of delimitation between R&D activities and health activities and in these cases no data is available on R&D expenditures and personnel. The higher education sector does not include experimental stations: given the specific nature of their activity, these are directly co-ordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture, and therefore included in the business enterprise sector.
