However, the creation of additional policy markers is not necessarily a sustainable solution since they create additional burden on reporting entities and enlarges the structure of the CRS, possibly resulting in lower coverage or quality of the data provided. In close discussion with the STI community, additional efforts should be placed on investigating alternative solutions, including enhancing the CRS sector code system or use machine learning or other statistical methods to find proxies for the resources targeting STI. Additional concessional resources should be used for “soft” ICT infrastructure.
