A. Relevance and sustainability context
A.1 Policy relevance
Indicates size and development of public funding for the Bioeconomy, which has an important role for activities /goals of the Bioeconomy Strategy and to drive bioeconomy development.
A.2 Sustainability and / or comparative evaluation options
The data can be compared to total economy, comparison with other countries are not possible, as such data most likely is not freely accessible or efforts would be too high.
B. Data availability
B.1 Stage of development
The indicator is well established.

BMFTR; https://www.datenportal.bmftr.bund.de/portal/1.1.5
B.3 Coverage over time and replicability
Available since 2009
B.4 Coverage across scales and sectors; compatibility

Further Comments:
Via the “Förderkatalog” the project based R&D could be analysed in more detail, regarding funded institutions, project cooperations, structural data (e.g. average size or duration of funding)
