System overview
This WEB database enables us to access R&D institutions (including universities) among APEC region easily. It is available as Internet homepages, CD-ROMs and publications. This project aims to develop a database for R&D Internationalization to study and understand R&D systems of APEC economies by sharing of the information on Industrial Science and Technology Policies. This database is constructed as Internet homepages, CD-ROM and publications. The working of the proposed system is presented in the diagram below.
