Raising Europe's game: how to create a research council that is a Champions League for science
Article Abstract:
The first pan-European meeting on science and technology in society will be held in August 2004 in Stockholm, where it is expected that a session on the proposed European Research Council (ERC), which is being discussed by the European Commission in Brussels, may take place. To create a successful ERC, it is important that the ERC is based on the virtues of the United States (US) National Science Foundation and should adopt the principles of peer-reviewed scientific excellence, minimum bureaucracy hurdles, and should not exist at the expense of national funding.
