Employee data are presented in two ways: the first is counting per head (the total number of people who worked in research and development during the reference period) and the second way is to show the number of full-time equivalent employees.
Until 2016, total number of persons engaged in R&D include only internal employees, without external collaborators. Data for 2023 are provisional.

INDICATOR DESCRIPTION
Total research and development (R&D) personnel data are presented in two ways: the first is counting per head (the total number of people who worked in research and development during the reference period) and the second way is to show the number in full-time equivalent (FTE). We use the FTE principle to avoid underestimating or overestimating the data on persons engaged in R&D.
Total R&D personnel include all employees who are in full-time employment, employed for an indefinite or definite period and work in R&D, either full-time (at least 90% of working time all year) or part-time (at least 10% or more and less than 90% of working time) and all external collaborators (employees under a contractual agreement or a copyright contract and employees in a supplementary employment relationship). Total R&D personnel is fully taken into account in the FTE if they work full time in R&D or in the proportionate share of full working hours if they work in the R&D on a part-time basis.
Until 2016, total number of persons engaged in R&D include only internal employees who are in full-time employment, employed for an indefinite or definite period and work in R&D, either full-time or part-time, without external collaborators.
