Data sources: The Research & Development expenditure in ICT section presents the latest available data on public and private investment in ICT (Government budget appropriations or outlays for research and development GBAORD; Business enterprise expenditure on R&D - BERD), based on EUROSTAT data and IPTS estimates. The Participation to the ICT theme of FP7 section is part of the Statistical Report for Annual Monitoring Stream 2012, available at: https://ec.europa.eu/digitalagenda/en/download-data. The report is based on administrative data of the whole population of projects funded under the ICT theme of FP7. The projects considered are those signed as of 31 December 2012. The report analyses several aspects related to the portfolio of projects, based on descriptive statistical analysis. It provides a consolidated analysis for the years 2007-2012, and analysis on a yearly basis for selected indicators. Please note that: a participant is defined as an organisation participating to the programme/project; a participation is defined as the involvement of an organisation in a project/programme (i.e. projects have multiple partners and an organization can be the partner of multiple projects); Analyses by year are carried out considering the year of first signature of a project.
