The OECD Science, Technology and Industry Outlook 2012 country profiles present the individual science, technology and innovation (STI) performance of OECD countries and some non-OECD countries, their national context and current major policy issues. Profiles describe national STI priorities and recent STI policy developments in each country on the basis of the responses provided by countries to the OECD Science, Technology and Industry Outlook policy questionnaires 2010 and 2012, as well as various additional OECD and non-OECD sources (including the EC-ERAWATCH database).
