THE PREDICT 2012 Report: An analysis of ICT R&D – EU and beyond

“The PREDICT 2012 Report: An analysis of ICT R&D – EU and beyond" provides a detailed analysis of the state of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Research and Development (R&D) activities in the European Union. This is the fifth edition of a series which is published annually. The 2012 edition has been, for the first time, designed to be primarily published as a web-based source of data and analyses, with downloadable data sets. The present report is therefore a compilation of the different sections of the web-based version available at is.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pages/ISG/PREDICT.html. This edition is based on latest data available from official sources, such as EUROSTAT and OECD. It therefore covers years 2008 and 2009, a period marked by a deep financial and economic crisis.
