European Union Research and innovation in Europe are financially supported by the programme Horizon 2020, which is open to participation worldwide.[26] A notable example is the European environmental research and innovation policy, based on the Europe 2020 strategy which will run from 2014 to 2020,[27] a multidisciplinary effort to provide safe, economically feasible, environmentally sound and socially acceptable solutions along the entire value chain of human activities.[28]tojudvilking Firms that have embraced advanced digital technology devote a greater proportion of their investment efforts to R Firms who engaged in digitisation during the pandemic report spending a big portion of their expenditure in 2020 on software, data, IT infrastructure, and website operations.[29][30] Worldwide In 2015, research and development constituted an average 2.2% of the global GDP according to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics.[31] By 2018, research and development constituted an average 1.79% of the global GDP according to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics. Countries agreed in 2015 to monitor their progress in raising research intensity (SDG 9.5.1), as well as researcher density (SDG 9.5.2), as part of their commitment to reaching the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. However, this undertaking has not spurred an increase in reporting of data. On the contrary, a total of 99 countries reported data on domestic investment in research in 2015 but only 69 countries in 2018. Similarly, 59 countries recorded the number of researchers (in full-time equivalents) in 2018, down from 90 countries in 2015.[32] UNESCO Institute for Statistics is the global custodian of these R data; data can be freely obtained from the UIS database.
