5. INTRODUCTION
The objective of this report is to provide a preview of the Andalusian science and technology system in 2011.
In order to achieve this purpose, the Andalusian Knowledge Agency:
Has gathered, tabulated and represented all the indicators and statistics from international, national and regional official bodies;
Has carried out statistical analyses about the participation of Andalusian researchers in R&D&I National Plan and the Andalusian Plan for Research
Development and Innovation 2007-2013 (PAIDI Plan);
Has represented the temporary evolutions for the most relevant variables, and when it has been possible, has shown the information of other regions in order to
make easier the comparative analysis.
This report describes the information organized as following:
Financial resources: some figures are collected on public funding through the R&D Budget of the Andalusian Government as well as the internal expenditure in
R&D by sectors, both in absolute values as in rate of inter-annual variation.
Human resources dedicated to scientific-technological activities: data are offered by sectors, type of occupation, academic qualification and gender.
PAIDI Actions: a serial of indicators are shown reflecting actions taken until now within the frame of the PAIDI Plan, and that allow indicating the evolution of
the policies and actions taken.
Innovative activity: expenditure on innovative activities, the number of innovative companies by type of innovation, company size and the intensity of
innovation, as well as through the companies performing R&D depending on the technological level.
Tangible outputs: results of the R&D&I activities measured through the industrial properties registry, indexed scientific articles and participation in national and
international R&D&I programmes.
The sources of information used to develop these indicators come mainly from government agencies such as the National Institute of Statistics (INE), the Spanish Patent
and Trademark Office (OEPM), the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO), Economic and Financial Report of the Andalusian Budget (Ministry of Finance
and Public Administration of the Government of Andalusia), General Directorate for Research, Technology and Enterprise (DGIT) of the Ministry of Economy, Innovation,
Science and Employment of the Government of Andalusia (CEICE), Centre for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) and Institute for Scientific Information (ISI).

61. GLOSSARY OF TERMS
INNOVATIVE ACTIVITY: All scientific, technological, organizational, financial and commercial steps which actually, or are intended to, lead to the
implementation of innovations. Some innovation activities are themselves innovative, others are not novel activities but are necessary for the
implementation of innovations. Innovation activities also include R&D that is not directly related to the development of a specific innovation. (Oslo
Manual, 2005)
HIGH TECHNOLOGY: The sectors and products that comprise the so-called high technology can be defined, generically, as those which, given
their degree of complexity, require a continuous effort in research and a solid technological base. (Methodology of High Technology Indicators,
INE)
TURNOVER: This includes the amounts invoiced by the company during the reference year for services rendered and sale of goods that are the
object of the company's trade. Deductible VAT invoiced by suppliers will not be included in the valuation of turn-over. These are accounted for,
including the taxes paid on the goods and services, with the exception of the VAT paid by the client. They are accounted for in net terms,
deducting returns of sales, as well as volume discounts. Neither cash discounts nor discounts for prompt payment are deducted. (INE
Methodology)
FTE: Is the sum of the staff that works full-time, and the fractions of time of the staff that works part-time, in R&D activities. (EIT, INE)
EIN COMPANIES: Innovative companies or with innovations underway or unsuccessful innovations. (Statistics INE)
INNOVATIVE FIRM: One that has implemented an innovation during the period under review. (Oslo Manual, 2005)

62. INNOVATION EXPENDITURES: Expenditures are measured on the basis of the sum of innovation activities over a given period of time … An
alternative would be to collect information on total expenditures on activities related to individual innovations. (Oslo Manual, 2005)
INTRAMURAL EXPENDITURES ON R&D: Intramural expenditures are all expenditures for R&D performed within a statistical unit or sector of the
economy during a specific period, whatever the source of funds. (Frascati Manual, 2002)
R&D: Research and experimental development (R&D) comprise creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of
knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications. (Frascati
Manual, 2002)
INNOVATION: Implementation of a new or significantly improved product (good or service), or process, a new marketing method, or a new
organizational method in business practices, workplace organization or external relations. (Oslo Manual, 2005)
PATENT: Title that recognizes the right to exclusively exploit a patented invention, preventing others from the manufacturing, sale or use of said
invention without the consent of the holder. The patent may refer to a new procedure, new apparatus, a new product or the perfection or
improvement of same. The duration of a patent is twenty years as from the date upon which the application was filed. Once granted, to maintain
the patent in force it is necessary to pay annual fees. Essentially there are three forms in which international patent applications may be filed:
- National: By means of the filing of a patent application in each one of the states in which protection is sought. For example at the Spanish
Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO)
- European: The European Patent system allows for protection to be obtained by means of a direct European patent application with the
designation of those European States in which protection is sought, and which are a part of the European Patent Convention (24 countries).
The European patent application is processed by the European Patent Office (EPO) and the granting of the patent has the same effect as a
national patent in all those states in which it is granted.

63. - International P.C.T. (Patent Cooperation Treaty): The PCT system allows for protection to be claimed for the invention in each one of the
States which are party to the international treaty (115 countries as of 1st January 2002), by means of one sole application known as
international application. (EIT Methodology, INE)
R&D PERSONNEL: Number of personnel employed in R&D:
- Researchers are professionals engaged in the conception or creation of new knowledge, products, processes, methods and systems and also
in the management of the projects concerned.
- Technicians and equivalent staff are persons whose main tasks require technical knowledge and experience in one or more fields of
engineering, physical and life sciences or social sciences and humanities. They participate in R&D by performing scientific and technical tasks
involving the application of concepts and operational methods, normally under the supervision of researchers. Equivalent staff perform the
corresponding R&D tasks under the supervision of researchers in the social sciences and humanities.
