The intramural R&D expenditure in the higher education sector in Germany is forecasted to experience modest growth between 2024 and 2028. Starting at 0.59% of GDP in 2024, the expenditure is anticipated to gradually increase each year, reaching 0.62% by 2028. The year-on-year growth reveals a steady trend, with the largest variations occurring between 2026 and 2027. This indicates a consistent rise, albeit a modest one, which could be attributed to sustained investment in research and development within the higher education sector.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impact of policy changes on R&D funding.
- Fluctuations in economic conditions influencing R&D expenditure.
- Technological advancements prompting shifts in research priorities.
