Spanish Science, Technology and Innovation Information System (SICTI)

The Science, Technology and Innovation Information System (SICTI) forms part of the governance instruments of the Spanish Science, Technology and Innovation System (SECTI). 

The SICTI was created in Law 14/2011, of 1 June, on Science, Technology and Innovation under the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities as an instrument for data collection and analysis for the preparation and monitoring of the Spanish Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation (EECTI), and its development plans.

Este espacio ofrece indicadores básicos del Sistema Español de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (SECTI). El objetivo de este apartado es poder visualizar de forma sencilla y con carácter global los principales indicadores del SECTI relativos a distintos ámbitos: gasto en I+D, Presupuestos, ayudas públicas, resultados de la investigación, etc.

Últimos datos: año 2023. Publicado: marzo 2025.

This section contains information on the budget appropriations allocated to R&D&I by the different public administrations. The initial appropriations and budget execution of the national government (AGE) are presented, broken down by Ministry and body, as well as those of the Autonomous Communities (CCAA), both in terms of spending policy 46 and other spending programmes with R&D&I allocations.

In this section, the SICTI provides detailed information on state aid granted in the field of R&D&I, both by the central and regional governments: how much aid has been awarded in a given year?  who are the beneficiaries? where are the R&D&I activities carried out?  how much is the funding of the aid, and under which type has the aid been awarded?  what is the purpose of the aid?, etc.

The first results of the Statistics on Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Indicators (TCI) prepared by the Ministry are presented. The data refer to universities, state and Autonomous Community public research organisations, and registered technology centres. The information is arranged in different sections according to their content: a) protection of results; b) exploitation agreements; c) contracts; d) collaboration and e) spin-offs. The reports can be browsed and have different selection options. Due to the complexity of the information contained, it is advisable to consult the methodological overview beforehand.
