摘要：The paper gives an overview of the development of science and technology
concepts within a national context and within selected intergovernmental organisations
(Council of Europe, OECD, United Nations, UNESCO and EU). It focuses briefly on the
fashionable strive for “Excellence” and attempts to make a linkage with the more recent
notion of “Good Governance”. Particular attention has been given to the recent EU efforts
to develop a new Union-wide common Research Policy in fostering the concept of the
“European Research Area”. Against this background, some special concerns are high-
lighted, such as Priority setting in the FP’s, ‘small countries versus large countries’; Re-
gional diversity of RTD efforts; EU enlargement; pre-competitive research support and the
international competitiveness of the EU). The paper concludes by attempting to elaborate a
position on three key issues:
1) The degree of influence of international organisations on national Science and Tech-
nology Policy setting
2) The dilemma in formulating a common European Research Policy whilst the EU-15
countries are pursuing in essence their national interests (“15+1” respectively
“25+1”?)
3) The difficulty in formulating a European Research Policy whilst some of the key ac-
tors, i.e. the research-intensive multinational corporations, are pursuing their own
globally oriented R+D policy.
