The Research and Innovation Careers Observatory (ReICO) is a joint initiative of the European Commission and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) launched in June 2024. It responds to the need among policy makers, the research and innovation (R&I) community, and the public at large, for reliable and comprehensive statistics and policy relevant information on careers that are critical to the advancement and diffusion of science and technology, and by implication to the future of our economies and societies.
By providing an international dynamic information hub that tracks global trends in R&I talent, career paths, and mobility, ReICO aims to be the place to go to access international data and information on the state R&I talent and careers today. It also aspires to be a convening space for all parties interested in making effective use of data for policy and addressing existing evidence gaps through new data, indicators and analysis.
