Socio-Economic Objective (SEO)

The socio-economic objective classification allows R&D activity in Australia and New Zealand to be categorised according to the intended purpose or outcome of the research, rather than the processes or techniques used in order to achieve this objective.

The purpose categories include processes, products, health, education and other social and environmental aspects in Australia and New Zealand that R&D activity aims to improve.

It is usually the general answer to “Why are you researching it?”

ANZSRC 2020 - Socio-Economic Objectives

There is a new version of the Socio-Economic Objectives (SEO) codes. To become familiar with the new codes, the Stats NZ site is a good place to start. A mapping of the old 2008 SEO codes to the new 2020 SEO codes is provided to assist in transitioning to the new codes.
