European Commission "Basic Research"

Key note by the Director-General, Achilleas Mitsos : Over the past two years, the idea of a European Research Council (ERC), widely regarded within the scientific community as a necessary component of the European Research Area, has become a serious political prospect. It is a development that the European Commission has strongly supported and worked hard to turn into reality.....

EuroHORCs

EuroHORCs is the association of the Heads of public national research and research funding organisations in Europe.

EuroHORCs is an acronym that stands for European Heads Of Research Councils. EuroHORCs was established in 1992 as an informal association of national research councils and analogous public non-university research organisations of the EU Member States.

EUA (European University Association)

The European University Association, as the representative organisation of both the European universities and the national rectors' conferences, is the main voice of the higher education community in Europe.

EUA's mission is to promote the development of a coherent system of European higher education and research. EUA aims to achieve this through active support and guidance to its members as autonomous institutions in enhancing the quality of their teaching, learning and research as well as their contributions to society.

IGLO

IGLO is an informal association of Brussels-based non-profit R&D Liaison Offices (CLORA is one of them). The aim of IGLO is to facilitate and enhance the interaction, information exchange and co-operation between Members of IGLO, their national research systems and the European institutions on issues related to EU RTD, in particular, the Framework Programme.

May be useful for contacting colleagues from other states.

ITRE (Committee on Industry, Research and Energy)

At the European Parliament, the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy is the committee in charge of research. Please note that the question of European higher education (universities in particular) is treated in a different committee (CULT). A sustained effort is necessary to remind that research has to do with culture and not only with economy.

CaSE - "Campaign for Science & Engineering in the UK"

"CaSE is a pressure group aiming to improve the scientific health of the UK.

Our objective is to communicate to Parliament and the nation as a whole the economic and cultural importance of scientific and technological research and development, and the vital need for the funding of this research by Government and industry."

"We are accepted by Government as an organisation able to speak for a wide section of the science and engineering community in a constructive but also critical and forceful manner. We are free to speak without the restraints felt by learned societies and similar bodies, and it is good for Government to know someone is watching closely."

Александр РОЖЕН. УЧЕНЫЕ ГОТОВЯТСЯ К РЕВОЛЮЦИИ... - Зеркало недели, суббота, 8 - 14 июля 2006 года.

Похоже, в Национальной академии наук Украины развиваются серьезные реформаторские процессы. Причем, как всегда это бывает при подготовке революционных подвижек, для внешнего наблюдателя все события происходят как бы на периферии главных событий и не обещают быстрых перемен. Однако действия решительно настроенных оппозиционеров выглядят достаточно системно и собирают под свои знамена все больше рядового народа, а также привлекают выразительные властные взгляды...

Впрочем, не будем делать опрометчивых прогнозов. Ограничимся документальной хроникой.

30 июня 2006 года Всеукраинская ассоциация «За европейские ценности в науке» (www.ukrnauka.org.ua) провела конференцию, на которой выступили ученые, желающие реальных перемен в НАНУ. У истоков этой организации стоят энергичные, весьма молодые исследователи, к тому же поработавшие за рубежом, вдохнувшие воздух свободы и непосредственно познакомившиеся с состоянием науки в передовых странах. Естественно, эти люди готовы к обсуждению проблем не только в кругу друзей за рюмкой чая, но и открыто -- в рамках организованной оппозиции. Ассоциация уже провела несколько заметных и хорошо продуманных акций. Ниже приводится точка зрения нескольких ученых, принимавших участие в конференции.

Ukraine scientists grow impatient for change
Quirin Schiermeier

Resistance to the academy's backward-looking plans is growing, both inside and outside Ukraine. A 13-strong group of Ukrainian scientists, led by Boyarski, has suggested to the country's science ministry a detailed concept of domestic reform, including rigorous evaluation of all academy institutes, the creation of an international institute of advanced study in Kiev and of a number of centres of excellence supported by the EU.

"Things back home really need to improve substantially," says Alexej Verkhratsky, a Ukrainian-born neurophysiologist at the University of Manchester and a member of Boyarski's group. "If they don't, our best young people will soon have left for good. A considerable number of Ukrainian scientists working abroad (myself included) would come back if things were reorganized."

"We have the same potential, scientifically and politically, as Poland or Hungary to become a genuine part of Europe," adds Oleg Krishtal, deputy director of the academy's Bogomoletz institute of physiology in Kiev. "What we need is proper political stimulus. Clearly, the academy cannot repair itself as long as the old guard is keeping all the key positions."

Eastern European science needs sweeping changes

Witold F. Palosz

BAE Systems Analytical Solutions, NASA, Marshall Space Flight Center, VP01, Huntsville, Alabama 35812, USA

Sir:

Your News story "Ukraine scientists grow impatient for change" (Nature 440, 132-133; 2006) touches on the situation and potential growth of scientific research in a single country, but the issues are relevant to all of the former Soviet bloc.

The facts are sobering. Although the average gross national product per capita in these countries is only a few times lower than in the rest of Europe, the average university ranking is an order of magnitude poorer: in the latest Academic Ranking of World Universities, only 4 of the top 123 European universities are from the former Soviet bloc. Pumping extra money into the system would make little difference. As a member of the Independent Academic Forum (http://www.nauka-edukacja.tubaza.pl) -- a group of Polish scientists aiming to promote changes in higher education, leading to the US model -- I believe the only real hope lies in creating a new generation of dynamic scientists to set the pace for academic life, which means supporting the best of the best. But much of the old guard, who attained their positions and influence under the old regime, are not up to the scientific challenges of today and resist any real change.

I believe that what we need is transparency and competitiveness: transparent records of achievements, including full publication lists, and fair and open competition for academic positions. An academic ombudsman would facilitate open discussion, and special grants for young scientists could also help. Major political and legislative decisions are called for. The Independent Academic Forum is doing its best to press for such changes.
