Department of Research and Development
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines R&D initiatives as a set of “creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of human knowledge and to devise new applications based upon it.” R&D initiatives comprise three major activities including basic research, applied research and experimental development. Basic research constitutes experimental or theoretical studies carried out to acquire new knowledge of the underpinnings of phenomena and observable facts without any prior intention of application or utility. Applied research is an original initiative conducted with the aim of acquiring new knowledge. However, there is often a practical objective in view when applied research is undertaken. Experimental development constitutes the use of knowledge acquired through research or experience in order to improve or produce materials, products and services. Accordingly, ISC R&D department assumes the following duties:
