The role of the European Commission in supporting research

European Review, 1997, vol. 5, issue 2, 161-184

Abstract: The European Community Treaty ascribes a precise role in the promotion of research to the Commission. The contribution of EC-sponsored research to industrial competitiveness, socio-economic development and scientific knowledge is discussed on the basis of recent experience and with reference to new goals. In this framework, problems of scientific and administrative management and the relations of the European Community with other European and national research systems are examined. An increasing role is suggested for EC research as an early warning system about emerging problems, based on the scientific assessment of weak signals. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
