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 STI statistics.
www.uis.unesco.org
The UIS strategy on Innovation Statistics
Inventory of innovation surveys in developing countries;
Pilot data collection (around 20 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, …).
www.uis.unesco.org
2. Capacity building: STI 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 STI 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)

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

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.

Measuring R&D in Developing Countries cont.
Objectives are to provide:
• Guidance to developing countries on how to adapt the FM standards
• Recommendations for specific situations that fall outside FM framework
• Suggestions on how to strengthen S&T statistical system in developing countries
Stay within boundaries of Frascati Manual (FM)
Some of the measurement challenges may be considered for a future revision of the FM
www.uis.unesco.org
Measuring Innovation in Developing Countries: Annex to the Oslo Manual (2005)
After the publication of the 2nd Oslo Manual, also developing countries started conducting innovation surveys.
The design of the surveys was intended to comply with Oslo Manual standards, with adaptations for capturing the particular characteristics of innovation processes. Adaptations were prepared by each country separately and with different approaches.
Bogotá Manual published by RICYT (Ibero American Network on S&T Indicators) first effort to compile particularities and guide the design of cross-nationally comparable innovation surveys.
Oslo Manual 3rd edition: UIS drafted the annex on Innovation surveys in developing countries. http://213.253.134.43/oecd/pdfs/browseit/9205111E.PDF (page 135)
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.
