The annual Work Programme, envisaged within the 6th National Plan as the tool for short-term planning and scheduling of the research, development and innovation policy, includes information about public calls, the financial distribution of the budget and management bodies for each action.
The objective of the Work Programme is to be a useful guide that facilitates greater and more effective participation and interrelation of the agents of the Spanish Science, Technology and Business System (both managers and beneficiaries of aid), through the identification and description of R&D+I activities that are planned to be convened over the following year, as well as the new features that will be appear in them.

The publication of the R&D&I Activities Report 2009 complies with the legal dictates established in Article 7 of the Law on The Promotion and General Coordination of Scientific and Technical Research (Law 13/1986, of April 14). The publication was drafted with the collaboration of all of the managing bodies of the National Plan for R&D&I as well as the public organisms responsible for implementing grants from both the State Administration (AGE) and the Autonomous Communities (CCAA).

The SISE report monitors and evaluates the tools and actions of the National R&D+I Plan. The aim of the report is to analyse the execution of the National Plan through studying the results of public calls, so that the changes considered to be necessary can be implemented in subsequent years of the National Plan. The detailed analysis of all of this aid is carried out with the participation of over 50 experts in the different Instrumental Lines of Action and Strategic Actions of the Plan, proposing recommendations for improvement of the aspects that regulate the system governing and managing public aid.

This publication presents the R&D&I activities financed by the State Administration (AGE) and the Autonomous Communities. The 2010 edition consists of four chapters. Chapter 1 analyses the State Administration's budget resources allocated to R&D&I. Chapter 2 describes in detail the aid granted by the State Administration through public calls. These calls fall within the framework of the VI National Plan for R&D&I for the period 2008-2011. Chapter 3 outlines the R&D&I activities carried out by public research institutions. Lastly, chapter 4 is a compilation of the Autonomous Communities' participation in the Spanish Science, Technology and Business System.

This includes the essential elements of the International Seminar "Science, Technology and Spanish Language: Scientific terminology in Spanish", held in Madrid in December 2003, under the auspices of FECYT. The initiative came from the activity of the Foundation’s working group Science, Technology and Language, coordinated by professors Violeta Demonte and Javier Ordóñez.
