The Department of Defence (which oversees and administers the [[Packilvanian Armed Forces]]) has often been a driver of scientific research for military applications which have often fed into industrial and commercial applications. [[Universities in Packilvania]] produce highly skilled scientists and engineers. The country has been a leading source of scientific and industrial research and development despite being a developing country. Nevertheless, there are areas in which Packilvania lags behind larger and more developed economies such as [[Great Morstaybishlia]] and [[South Hills]]. Despite having the third largest nominal expenditure on research and development, per capita expenditure is only slightly above average.
The [[Space Agency of Packilvania]] (''luAjhensia aluHiva aBakhilfaniya'') is responsible for overseeing the terrestrial and extraterrestrial telescope infrastructure of the country. Packilvania is one of the few countries capable of launching vehicles into space and often leases its space ports in [[Antimovo & Samokov]] to foreign nations. Furthermore, the country has contributed to international space research programs. The Atomic Research Agency of Packilvania (''luAjhensia aluBahath aleDharat aBakhilfaniya'') is the government agency in charge of civilian nuclear research and some of its programs include maintaining one of the largest particle colliders in the world, the [[Sultan Namdun III Particle Accelerator]]. The country is also home to some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world and it has made quantum computing, simulation and measurement, priorities for its forthcoming five-year plans.
Packilvania has also extensively contributed to research and development in biology. This includes the development of pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers and irrigation techniques, genetically modified crops, vaccines, and cancer research. The [[Fidal Prize]] for Mathematics awards the most accomplished mathematicians with special attention paid to people who can solve the so called [[w:Millennium problems|Millennium Problems]]. The [[Shameel Prize]] in Chemistry, Engineering and Computer Sciences is also a highly prestigious prize for the recognition of scientific achievements.
