Aarhus on the accelerator
Article Abstract:
Aarhus University in Aarhus, Denmark is gaining an international reputation for excellence despite its location at a remote agricultural town in a very small country on Europe's northern periphery. Its physics department was founded in the 1940s by physicists from the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and its cell biology department has received support from the EC. to perform work on the Human Genome Project. Researchers at Aarhus receive adequate support for travelling and do not have to compete for funds for technical assistance which are included in the university budget.

Norway: it's time to reorganize
Article Abstract:
Norway has created a single research council to dispense funds, with the hope of bringing greater coordination between policy-making, funding and research. The Norwegian Research Council will supplant the five separate councils that currently operate, covering both applied and basic research in all fields. Academics welcome the streamlined bureaucracy promised in this move, but remain skeptical that such a body can accommodate the divergent interests of different fields.
