Researchers, all sectors by NUTS 2 regions

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. The measure shown in this table is researchers in full time equivalents divided by the total annual average employed population. Please note that the calculation of the measure in this table has changed from being based on head count to full time equivalents from January 2010. The measure based on head count is still accessible through Eurostat public data bases, table: Total R&D personnel and researchers by sectors of performance, region and sex (rd_p_persreg)
