Science & Technology British Council Indonesia March 2017

Why the UK?


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 2nd in 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
