Research and Development - Personnel by field of science

(Not available for the business sectors)

R&D personnel can be classified based on the field of science they conduct research in, using the OECD's Fields of Research and Development(FORD) classification :

  • natural sciences
  • engineering and technology
  • medical and health sciences
  • agricultural sciences
  • social sciences
  • humanities

With the application below, statistics on R&D personnel can be created using the following criteria. We distinguish between researchers on the one hand and total personnel (= researchers + supporting R&D personnel) on the other:

In head counts (HC)

  • total R&D personnel by field of science in HC
  • total female R&D personnel by field of science in HC
  • researchers by field of science in HC
  • female researchers by field of science in HC

In full-time equivalents (FTE)

  • total R&D personnel by field of science in FTE
  • total female R&D personnel by field of science in FTE
  • researchers by field of science in FTE
  • female researchers by field of science in FTE
