Research and development (R&D) in the business sector
The aim of the Research and Development (R&D) survey is to collect data on research and development expenditure, human resources and other research and development related topics, in Luxembourgish businesses, in order to produce harmonised and comparable statistics in the European Union. The collected data are also used for the preparation of national accounts.
