In 2023, the Neaman Institute was awarded a tender to conduct scientific research as part of developing a comprehensive national policy for advancing scientific research in Israel. This tender, commissioned by the National Council for Research and Development under the Ministry of Science and Technology, highlights metrics for science, technology, and innovation as a central focus.
The research involves an annual publication featuring key figures that reflect inputs and outputs in Israel’s science, technology, and innovation sectors. These indicators are examined over extended periods, typically spanning a decade or more, and compared internationally. The report also analyzes the impacts of government, higher education institutions policy, and business sector activities.
The project aims to create a robust and up-to-date database of periodic, internationally comparable metrics. This resource is designed to support policymakers and researchers in formulating informed strategies that foster a balanced research and development (R&D) ecosystem, drive innovation, and deliver tangible benefits to society and the economy.
The report consolidates a diverse range of metrics, which are analyzed, organized, and presented in tables and visualization. It tracks trends over time and compares Israel’s performance to selected countries. The analysis includes insights, dividing the data into three main chapters: the business sector, the governmental sector, and the higher education sector. An additional section focuses on national R&D expenditure, detailing its distribution across these sectors and offering international comparisons.
