How to read this table
When comparing rows by type of organization, the overall trend should be taken into account. In recent years, the growth in the number of organizations has been more noticeable in the design development segment, which may indicate a shift in innovation policy priorities. It is important to track not only the total number but also how the share of research and design organizations changes within the overall pool
What is visible in these numbers
Highest values: Total number of organisations (4,281), Number of organisations — research organisations (2,686), Number of organisations — educational organisations (1,040). The gap between the highest and lowest is 68 times
Observations are annual and cover 18 periods. Cells with numbers: 144 out of 144 (100%), meaning the table is almost completely filled
The same indicator for other periods

Period and application
The data cover the period from 2000 to 2025 and are updated once a year. This information is useful for analyzing the development of science in regions, as well as for evaluating the effectiveness of state innovation support programs. Rosstat's methodology is based on reporting from scientific organizations, universities, and enterprises
