“OECD Expert Group on the Management and Analysis of R&D and Innovation Administrative Data (MARIAD/NESTI/OECD)”

MARIAD is a working group set up under the OECD Working Party of National Experts on Science and Technology Indicators (NESTI), with the aim of promoting the use of administrative data on R&D&I funding to inform evidence-based policy decisions.

The FCT (together with ANI) ensures Portugal's participation in this working group.

Within this working group,SciPROJ(the national database developed under the FCCN-FCT's PTCRIS program) was integrated into FUNDSTAT, the OECD's data infrastructure, which brings together information on R&D&I funding from more than 20 countries and the European Commission. This sharing will allow information on Portugal to be integrated into studies carried out by the OECD and information to be obtained on the direction of funding in relevant areas, such as the Green Transition and the Sustainable Development Goals.
