While imputed student costs can be considered as support to increasing research capacity in academia, it is excluded from this analysis on the basis that secondary education cannot be distinguished from tertiary education. However, resources for scholarships are included in the analysis on the basis that scholarships are provided for students “registered for systematic instruction in private or public institutions of higher education to follow full-time studies or training courses in the donor country”. Classificatory variables exist in the CRS to identify development activities that support research programmes or scientific networks and partnership for improved knowledge-transfer between developed and developing countries. It is also possible using the existing structure of the CRS to identity projects and other activities aimed to support countries' efforts to expand ICT infrastructure and strengthen their digital economies.
