Research & Development

The people working in the research and development sector (R&D) are responsible for the improvement of existing procedures and products and for the development of new procedures and products. In short, organisations use Research and development to grow and innovate. This is essential for organisations and can lead to a better competitive market position.

The Research and Development departments enabled many breakthroughs, including genetic adaptations in animals and plants, the resistance of plants to diseases and even the extension of human life. However, these developments are not without costs. It takes about fifteen years for biotechnology and pharmaceutical organisations to get a new drug on the market. Research and Development requires strong scientific knowledge and researchers who can go beyond their own expertise. R&D staff tasks can be: product research as well as product developments, updating existing products and conducting quality controls. Investors, internal committees, and project teams determine the funding of research and the career of an Research and Development specialist.
