The Samuel Neaman Institute is leading a multi-year program aimed to enhance the understanding of Israel’s research, development, and innovation ecosystem. This initiative is based on a robust data and metrics infrastructure, providing trend analysis over time and international comparisons. As part of this project, annual reports covering various topics are published within an ongoing study conducted for the National Council for Civilian Research and Development (MOLMOP).
Dr. Tsipy Buchnik, project coordinator at the Samuel Neaman Institute, stated: “Our reports provide a broad picture of the development of technology, innovation, and science in Israel. These reports are a vital tool for research and decision-making by organizations such as MOLMOP, the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, the Knesset, the Israel Innovation Authority, and more. The studies cover a variety of topics, including key indicators in science, technology, and innovation, gender aspects in inventive activity, international comparisons of scientific publications, innovation indices in Israel’s major cities, government research institutes, knowledge transfer from academia to society, and workforce needs in the maritime sector.”
