UNESCO Science Report 2015
Towards 2030
Abstract
The UNESCO Science Report: Towards 2030 was released in November 2015. Spanning the period between 2009 and 2015, it provides more country-level information than ever before on trends and developments in scientific research and governance, with data on 189 countries and profiles of 140 of them. More than 50 experts have contributed to the present report, each of them covering the region or country from which they hail. A quinquennial report has the advantage of being able to focus on longer-term trends, rather than becoming entrenched in descriptions of short-term annual fluctuations which, with respect to policy and science and technology indicators, rarely add much value.
