The Research and Innovation Careers Observatory (ReICO) country dashboard offers a snapshot of the people who drive research and innovation (R&I) and their careers. ReICO indicators are organised around three themes: talent development - who has the capacity to contribute to R&I, and how that capability is built; the labour market - where R&I talent is employed, and the conditions and rewards of their careers; and talent circulation - how R&I talent moves across borders, sectors, and disciplines.
