The Department of Science and Innovation's Strategic Plan sets the strategic agenda for R&D funding and budgets for key technology areas, including the bioeconomy, hydrogen, and fuel cells, for the period from 2020 to 2025. The plan was updated and revised in the 2022 annual report to adjust the technology focus areas and performance evaluation metrics. These metrics include scientific outputs such as expenditure on R&D, PhD graduates, publications, patent awards, and other indices, to identify key achievements and areas needing improvement. The plan also evaluates the impact on social challenges such as poverty, inequality, and unemployment.
