Description
Summary:Concerns over the economic competitiveness of European industries have stimulated attempts to encourage cooperation, especially in technological development likely to lead to commercial applications. The European Community (EC) has shifted the main focus of its research efforts toward such industrially oriented research programs as the European Strategic Programme for Research and Development in Information Technology (ESPRIT) and Basic Research in Industrial Technologies for Europe (BRITE). In the BRITE program, about 40% of the participating organizations are universities or research institutes. This process of cooperation was given full constitutional legitimacy when EC member states adopted the single European Act, incorporating a specific chapter on research and technological development. The European Commission has made it clear that there must be cooperation between the European Research Coordinating Agency and the EC in order to match their complementary features and derive the maximum benefit from synergy.
