Austrian Research and Technology Report 2024

Bereich: Forschungspolitik & Entwicklung

The annual Austrian Research and Technology Reports are dedicated to current national and international research and technology policy issues by analysing current developments and trends and preparing extensive data on research and development. Since 2020, an annual monitoring of the eleven central research and research funding organisations listed in the Research Funding Act has been part of the report, which provides an overall systemic view of state-funded research funding and implementation.

The legal basis for the preparation of the research and technology reports can be found in the Research Organisation Act (FOG), Federal Law Gazette No. 341/1981. By 1 June of each year, the respective Federal Ministers for Education, Science and Research, in agreement with the respective Federal Ministers for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology and the respective Federal Ministers for Labour and Economic Affairs, must submit a status report on research, technology and innovation funded by federal funds in Austria to the National Council in accordance with Section 8 (1). In accordance with § 8 (2), a comprehensive report on the needs of research, technology and innovation in Austria must be submitted by the Federal Government to the National Council every three year, which is the case of the current report.
