Analysis of government budget appropriations or outlays for R&D (GBAORD) in Norway

Abstract

In Norway the Research Councils' Committee on R&D statistics has analysed public R&D funding every year since 1970. From 1991 the entire analysis has been performed by the Institute for Studies in Research and Higher Education.

Within NORDFORSK1 the Nordic countries started their discussions on this topic back in 1972. Guidelines for Government R&D appropriations were published in 1983.2 Norway has also participated actively in international cooperation inside the OECD. Here, of course, the work with the Frascati Manual is central.
