Human resources in RTD, including attractiveness of science and technology professions,

Public and private investment in RTD,

Scientific and technological productivity,

Impact of RTD on economic competitiveness and employment,

and Promotion of RTD culture and public understanding of science . This latter contains several interesting discussions of the notion and nature of public understanding, data and case studies from various sources.
