Prospective de l'espace européen de la recherche
Résumé
By stating its ambition to create a "European research area", the Lisbon Declaration (2000) reflected a change in attitude in that domain. Four years later, the Wim Kok report concluded that the project had been a failure. The author suggests reasons for this and proposes possible ways of rethinking the idea. He shows that there cannot be an ambitious European policy without reconsidering the budgetary framework of Community action. He also tries to analyse the "policy mix" and the instruments at the service of European research objectives.
