Transforming R&D statistics on Government-funded research & development 
We have already blogged about how the UKs statistics on research and development (R&D) are the subject of a programme of fundamental transformation. We are improving our main survey to capture a much wider group of businesses to better reflect the true extent of R&D undertaken in the UK. Now we also improving our measurement of R&D undertaken by the UK government and its agencies. Here Heather Bovill talks about how we are improving these estimates of what R&D the government is paying for and, importantly, where it is taking place. |
