European decline, why?
Phd grad ths EU-27 100 US 52In S&E 40 19
Patents/mln inh EU-27 117 US 106Publications 38% 31%
but The EU contributes less than the US to high-impact publications
The EU is not specialised in the most dynamic research disciplines
Most Nobel Prize winners come from the USA (expats and emigrants)
Highest impact technologies come from the USA Highest ranked universities are in the USA
and Largest growth in HE and S&T is in Asia and
Brasil !!!

Terman principle and the outcome
“academic prestige depends on high but narrow steeples of academic excellence, it is not possible to cover all the bases.”
(excellence + focus)
„steeples of excellence”
Steeples – high church tower

European Institute of Technology
Excellence calls for model organisations. That is why Europe needs a strong European Institute of Technology – an organisation whose mission would be to bring together the brightest minds and the best businesses and to disseminate the results throughout Europe. JOSÉ MANUEL BARROSO

Urgent need to rethink EU strategy
ERC success reveals all flaws and deficiencies of European science scene
There is a major challenge for less wealthy and developed countriesFinland & Israel showed that it is possible – trust
in human abilities and invest wisely in the knowledge-based future
European solidarity is a must to avoid intellectual deserts in Europe (cohesion + research & education policy across Europe)

But long term strategy needed
Europe must be more ambitious and coherent.
Europe must offer younger researchers serious careers in Europe, also not far from home.
Unless we create the European dream, the American dream will still win
