The forecast data for higher education expenditure on R&D in Italy from 2024 to 2028 indicates a negative growth trend, with a year-on-year decrease, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -1.10%. Beginning in 2024 with a decrease of -0.92%, the decline progressively intensifies, reaching -1.27% in 2028. This downward trajectory suggests continued contraction in investment levels or funding efficiency in the Italian higher education sector.
Future trends to monitor include:
- The potential impact of European Union funding policies on reversing the decline.
- The effect of technological advancements and digital transformations in academia.
- Government policy shifts potentially stimulating R&D investment growth.
