CHALLENGES S&T data are not readily available in Egypt except in government and higher education sectors If they were available, they are not in systematic manner or incomplete Data of (expenditures or R&D personnel) are difficult to obtain especially from private sectors. There is no standard method to collect data of S&T Egyptian government took several steps to collect data for science and technology indicators. Building a capacity for S&T documentation in stakeholder institutions. Planning to conduct surveys to collect science and technology data in Egypt.
