Core R&D Activities

Core R&D activities are experimental activities:

1. That are conducted based on a systematic progression of work proceeding from a hypothesis to experiment, observation and evaluation, and leading to logical conclusion;
2. Whose outcome cannot be determined in advance on the basis of current knowledge, information or experience of a competent professional in the field;
3. That are conducted for the purpose of generating new knowledge.

Supporting R&D Activities

Supporting R&D activities are activities directly related to core R&D activities.
