3 OUTLINE Context data and indicators Key R&D indicators R&D funding Human resources Publications & Patents/Horizon 2020 Summary

4 CONTEXT DATA & INDICATORS: R&D LANDSCAPE Universities: 14 state/8 private Research institutes:13 state/ 9 private *Colleges: 13 state/ 10 private 1st in the EU for share of tertiary education graduates in the population aged ,7%, (EU goal 40%, average 39,1%) students Almost 400 PhD graduates every year 8375 FTE researchers 23 % researchers in business and industry (FTE) In the period of huge investments were made into public R&D infrastructure (total of ~268 mln. Eur). The main principle of creation of infrastructure referred to the evaluation of research and HE areas with largest potential of the strongest groups of researchers. R&D Intensity 0,74% (Goal for ,9%) In European Innovation Scoreboard 2017 Lithuania 16 th position (from 24th in 2016). Lithuania's innovation performance has increased by 21% since The strengths: Human resources, innovation friendly environment, linkages. Source: Statistics Lithuania, Eurostat, MOSTA, 2016

16 SUMMARY Strengths and opportunities The size of the public research sector. Majority of R&D activities are carried out by public research organisations. Still good supply of new graduates (Bachelor, Master) Upgraded public research infrastructure from funds Challenges Dispersed research resources Insufficient R&D funding/r&d funding relies too greatly on EU Funds Unattractive conditions for researchers career Weak internationalization of the national research system
