Use of S&T statistics and indicators Ministry of Education and Science of Montenegro
What can we use… • Statistical annual report (general) • NIRO questionnaire (in detail)
What is missing… • No data on business (researchers, investment, etc.) • No common data-base on researchers, there are several we use • Often, the MONSTAT questionnaires are not filled-in properly
What are the plans for future… • Established regular contacts between MONSTAT and the Ministry • Adjustments of the NIRO questionnaire to be more in line with the actual needs (adaptation of the methodology of statistical survey – FRASCATI METHODOLOGY) • What should be done to be in line with EC standards (e.g. Regulation No753/2004) • TAIEX Expert mission approved (selection of expert in course)
