Abstract

In recent years, the advancement of investment in R+D+i has grown exponentially. After the financial crisis of 2007-2008 and the health crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, investment in R&D in Spain has reached 17,249 million euros in 2021, 1.43% of GDP. Due to this increase, an effective way to manage resources in science and technology is necessary. The financing granted by the European Union with the Next Generation EU funds and specifically from the Mechanism for Recovery and Resilience (MRR) have further strengthened this financial allocation for research in Public Research Organizations.

After the recent reform of the Science Law in September 2022, a path is set in motion so that in 2030 the financing of public agents of the Spanish System of Science, Technology and Innovation achieves 1.25% of GDP, of in accordance with Recommendation (EU) 2021/2122 of the Council of November 26, 2021 on a Research and Innovation Pact in Europe, of November 26, 2021.
