COUNTRY: OBSERVATION PERIOD: PILOT DATA COLLECTION OF INNOVATION STATISTICS (June 2011)

Innovation activities and expenditures

MOST RECENT INNOVATION DATA AVAILABLE

This pilot questionnaire is designed to collect the most recent data on innovation available at the country level, in order to commence the development of the UIS database of innovation indicators. This pilot data collection on innovation statistics is a tentative exercise towards the establishment of a regular worldwide innovation data collection activity.

Funding Sources of information Please return one completed questionnaire before [email protected].

30 September 2011

to [email protected] and/or For any queries please

contact

Please refer to the Instruction Manual for Completing the Pilot Questionnaire on Innovation Statistics before completing the questionnaire.

Only one questionnaire per country should be completed

by the institution responsible for innovation statistics (e.g. Ministry of Science and Technology, National Innovation Council or a similar organisation, or the National Statistical Office).

Please do not leave any cell blank.

The following codes should be used whenever figures are not available: a = category not applicable c m = confidential = data missing (or not available) n = quantity nil x = data included in another category (please specify where, using a comment or footnote)

Estimated or provisional data

should be marked with an asterisk *.

The data reported should refer to grossed up results.

The most recent innovation survey from which data are being reported is hereafter defined as "your innovation survey".

All types of innovation

Please send the UIS a copy of the questionnaire of your innovation survey.
