Policy context

Data collected in these fields by Eurostat serve both policymakers and scientists. They are used to monitor the European research area (ERA).

Eurostat statistics feed into several policy monitoring reports, like the:

  • science, research and innovation performance of the EU
  • European innovation scoreboard and the related regional innovation scoreboard
  • ‘she figures’ publication on gender equality in research and innovation
  • macroeconomic imbalance procedure (MIP)
  • sustainable development goals.
