What every one reads….

Basic research is experimental or theoretical work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge of the
underlying foundation of phenomena and observable facts, without any particular application or use in view.
( FM-OECD, 2002, Par. 64, Pg. 30) . Basic research is experimental or theoretical work undertaken primarily to
acquire new knowledge of the underlying foundations of phenomena and observable facts, without any particular
application or use in view (FM-OECD, 2002, Par. 240, Pg 77).

Pure basic research is carried out for the advancement of knowledge, without seeking long-term
economic or social benefits or making any effort to apply the results to practical problems or to transfer the results to
sectors responsible for their application (FM-OECD, 2002, Par. 24, Pg. 78)

Oriented basic research is carried out with the expectation that it will produce a broad base of
knowledge likely to form the basis of the solution to recognized or expected, current or future problems or possibilities.
The separate identification of oriented basic research may provide some assistance towards identifying “strategic
research”, a broad notion often referred to in policy making." (FM-OECD, 2002, Par. 243 & Par. 244, Pg. 78).

Applied research is also original investigation undertaken in order to acquire new knowledge. It is,
however, directed primarily towards a specific practical aim or objective. (FM-OECD, 2002, Par. 64, Pg. 30)

Experimental development is systematic work, drawing on existing knowledge gained from researc
and/or practical experience, which is directed to producing new materials, products or devices, to installing new processes,
systems and services, or to improving substantially those already produced or installed. R&D covers both formal R&D in
R&D units and informal or occasional R&D in other units. (FM-OECD, 2002, Par. 64, Pg. 30)

Despite PORTUGUESE law’s very peculiar
Frascati Manual’ misinterpretation*;

At international level, in what concerns

research policy development, there is no
such thing as

“ORIENTED

*So far….
? RESEARCH”

At national level it hasn’t been defined yet the

practical content meaning for the national
“oriented research” policy
MY VERY, VERY DEARS

3. MCTES,

5. EACH ONE AND ALL MEMBERS OF PORTUGUESE

“ASSEMBLEIA DA REPÚBLICA”

and, in special,

3. Mr. PORTUGUESE PRESIDENTE DA REPÚBLICA

PLEASE, COME AGAIN!…

What is the exact meaning of your own concept for

“ORIENTED RESEARCH”?
NOTE: everyone, mentioned in here was, directly, contact to clear for me this
question….and… and… Nothing happened!!!
