Proportion of researchers at full-time equivalent (%) in active population by Geographic localization (NUTS - 2013); Annual - MCTES/GPEARI, R&D (institutional sector and enterprises sector)
Researchers at full-time equivalent (FTE) (No.) in institutions and enterprises with research and development by Geographic location (NUTS - 2013); Annual - DGEEC, R&D (institutional sector and enterprises sector)
Researchers at full-time equivalent (FTE) per 1000 inhabitants (No.) in institutions and enterprises with research and development by Geographic location (NUTS - 2013); Annual - DGEEC, R&D (institutional sector and enterprises sector)
Note(s):
(1) In 2021 there is a break in the series with data from the remaining reference periods for this indicator, since the 2021 series of the active population is now used for its calculation.
(2) In 2013, data on human resources in R&D by function reflect a series decline compared to previous years due to the revision of R&D personnel categories. The categories of researcher, technician and other support staff have been defined according to the main functions performed within R&D activities, according to ISCO classification criteria, rather than being defined solely by the level of academic qualification. This review has resulted in an increase in staffing in the categories of technicians and other R&D support staff to the detriment of researchers.
(3) From January 1st, 2015 came into force a new version of NUTS (NUTS 2013). At NUTS II level was just a name change in "Lisboa" which became known as "Área Metropolitana de Lisboa".
(4) In 2008, there is a series break, due to the process of articulation of information of R&D with the monitoring system of higher education teachers, this sector includes the R&D activities of teachers (not reported by R&D centres).
Data on human resources in R&D and expenditure on R&D in 2010 and 2011 were revised in October 2014 as a consequence of a diverse interpretation of concept of researcher comparing to originally used. This revision increased the international comparability of the data as well as the comparability with the remaining years of the national time series (initiated in 2008).
