| Synopsis: |
How do other countries of the European Union define and implement their science and technology policies? What are the objectives in relation to national economies? To what extent are the issues common, or characteristic of each state? These and related questions were the subject of a symposium, the proceedings of which are published in this book. The panel of experts from the UK, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Portugal and the European Commission reached remarkable consensus on a number of important issues: support for technology foresight as a tool to improve economic competitiveness; difficulty in establishing the balance between "wealth creation" and "quality of life" in setting objectives; unresolved problems in developing career structures for scientists; and the need to improve public understanding of science. |
