The PRO (Public Research Organization) Database. RISIS WP23.3

Built as part of the RISIS.EU project at the Institute of Public Goods and Policies of the Spanish National Research Council (IPP-CSIC), the PROs database provides basic statistical information about a sample of European Public Research Institutions (PROs). The underlying data is not based on information reported in questionnaires filled out by representatives from the institutional units, but it is the result from searching and collecting publicly available data from annual reports and other public data sources as well as freely internet available resources. The information available in this new data platform is presented in the form of a number of variables providing comparable information across institutions with the aim to allow monitoring, analysing and studying the dynamics of PROs in the European research system.
