Denmark: influence beyond its size
Article Abstract:
Public funds for research in Denmark are increasing, and Danes are looking forward to greater cooperation with researchers from the EC. The Danish Science Policy Council, together with the universities and research councils, has implemented a program of having outside evaluations of Danish research performed by foreign experts. Danish researchers find favorable reports helpful in making a case for continued financial support for their projects.

Alternative view on whaling
Article Abstract:
Some Norwegians believe that whales represent a resource that can and should be sustainably harvested. Researchers at the University of Oslo intend to study 400 whales caught for the purpose of learning about their diet. Critics believe the government's funding of whale research is intended to lend scientific legitimacy to its defiance of the international moratorium on commercial whaling and is not motivated by scientific questions.
