UK- Indonesia Collaborative Opportunities on Research, Science & Technology
British Council Indonesia April 2018
Why the UK?
www.britishcouncil.org 2
Gross domestic expenditure on R&D in 2011 was $36.5 billion (£27.4 billion; 1.77% of GDP)
No. 2 on many S&I indicators and No. 1 ranking in comparator group in terms of overall quality of research (FWCI) in 2012
UK has just 0.9% of population but 16% of most highly cited papers (ranking 2
ndin comparator group, behind the US)
42 UK universities are ranked amongst the 100 most
international universities globally – often as a result of their excellent research outputs
1 in 7 world leaders had some form of education in the UK

UK Research Highlights
UK research is international
• 47% of all doctoral students in the UK come from outside the UK
• 72% of researchers in the UK were internationally mobile between 1996-2012
• 48% of publications from the UK are produced with international collaborations
• Internationally collaborative research is more highly cited
• Mobile researchers are more productive
