European Research AreaLegal basis: „Towards a European Research Area”

(18.01.2000 r.)

Aim: improving conditions for scientific researchin Europe

Full utilisation of the enormous potential for research,accumulated all over Europe, requires stepping

beyondthe simple scheme of supplying the resources tosupport international co-operation in the field.

The document in question presents a possible scenario of such a venture.

Scientific policy of Europe

ERA – the conceptERA’s goals are intertwined with three mutually

related and complementary concepts:

• Creation of an „internal research market” with three components: the knowledge, the scientists, the technology.

• Restructuring the European research infrastructure.

• Development of the European research policy.
