2006 Call for New EUROCORES themes
Date: 22.3.2006
The European science system must remain competitive with that of the other major economic blocks. To achieve this, Europe needs to have access to the best research environment in order to develop and retain its most talented scientists and to develop international standards of excellence and offer scientific leadership in the global arena.
The EU Framework Programme is mission-orientated, by definition, and does not aim (nor should it) to cover all areas of science. The challenge is to complement it with an effective and efficient mechanism for multinational collaboration within Europe in basic research to overcome some of the disadvantages of scale in a distributed science policy system. Such a mechanism should maximise the investments made at national level.
