- 1. Blue Sky II Forum 2006 ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20060039530Geography: CanadaDescription:
Held in Ottawa, Canada, in September 2006, the Blue Sky II Forum examined new areas for indicator development and set a broad agenda for future work on science, technology and innovation (STI) indicators. Emphasis was placed on indicators of outcomes and impacts in order to support monitoring, benchmarking, foresight, and evaluation activities, applied to policies and programs, and their economic and social impacts. As expected the Forum provided ideas and guidance for indicators work in both OECD-member and non-member countries as well as for other international organizations.
Release date: 2006-12-06 - 2. Defining bioproducts: a daunting challenge ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20060039534Geography: CanadaDescription:
Bioproducts play an important role in the search for solutions to declining reserves of oil, increasing costs of oil extraction, increasing oil prices and increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration. They also offer opportunities for rural economic development and diversification for farmers. This article summarizes ongoing work towards improving our understanding of the bioproduct concepts and their definitions.

This article summarizes the Canadian experience in collecting and accessing information on government expenditure (both federal and provincial) on nanotechnology R&D in Canada. The steps taken to measure activities in the private sector on nanotechnology illustrate the many challenges facing measurement of nanotechnology activities.
Release date: 2006-06-27 - 4. Innovation Capabilities: Comparing Science and Engineering Employment in Canadian and U.S. Cities ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-622-M2006012Geography: CanadaDescription:
In recent years, cities have become increasingly interested in their ability to generate, attract and retain human capital. One measure of human capital is employment in science- and engineering-based occupations. This paper provides a comparison of the employment shares of these specialized occupations across Canadian and U.S. cities by using data from the Canadian and the U.S. censuses from 1980-1981 and 2000-2001. The paper, therefore, provides a perspective on how Canadian cities performed relative to their U.S. counterparts over a twenty-year period. It also seeks to evaluate how cities of different sizes have performed, because large cities may be advantaged over smaller cities in terms of factors influencing both the demand for, and supply of, scientists and engineers.
Release date: 2006-05-11 - 5. Innovation Capabilities: Science and Engineering Employment in Canada and the United States ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-622-M2006011Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper compares the size and composition of science and engineering employment in Canada and the United States. It examines the share of paid employment and paid earnings accounted for by the science and engineering workforce in both countries. Our tabulations distinguish between a core group and a related group of science and engineering workers. The core group includes computer and information scientists, life and related scientists, physical and related scientists, social and related scientists, and engineers. The related group includes workers in health-related occupations, science and engineering managers, science and engineering technologists and technicians, a residual class of other science and engineering workers, and post-secondary educators in science and engineering fields. We examine the employment and earnings shares of science and engineering workers over the 1980/1981 to 2000/2001 period. Detailed industry comparisons are reported for 2000/2001.
Release date: 2006-05-04 - 6. We're still learning ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20060019100Geography: CanadaDescription:
In the January 2002 issue, we reviewed the many new findings reported in the previous four years of the Innovation Analysis Bulletin. This article continues that tradition. We again discuss the insights that would not have been possible without the continued efforts of Statistics Canada's Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division with its Director, Dr. Fred Gault.
Release date: 2006-02-27 - 7. Why conduct research and development? ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20060019105Geography: CanadaDescription:
While it may seem like a question that doesn't need asking in some circles, we don't always have all the reasons in a handy list. Furthermore, the longer-term outcomes are more difficult to attribute to any specific activity. While Statistics Canada's framework of Science and Technology Activities and Impacts has guided us for the past seven years, we have agreed that it is time to improve our understanding of the impacts and outcomes.

In September, 2006, Statistics Canada will be hosting the Blue Sky II 2006 Forum. This forum will examine new areas for indicator development and set a broad agenda for future work on science, technology and innovation (STI) indicators. The Forum will emphasise indicators of outcomes and impacts that support monitoring, benchmarking, foresight activity, and evaluation, applied to policies and programs, and their economic and social impacts.
