The Research and Development Budget (R&D) 2016-2017

The ‘Research & Development Funding and Performance in the State Sector 2016-2017’ survey is undertaken annually by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation.

This year’s survey was sent to a total of 31 government departments and agencies who were engaged in some form of R&D activity in either 2016 or 2017. In addition, this report brings together the expenditure and personnel figures for the R&D performers in the economy, that is, for the Business, Higher Education and Government sectors.
