Synopsis

During the last years, important geopolitical changes took place in the broader area of Eastern Europe, having as a consequence, among others, the change of policy and strategy in many fields such as social, economical, commercial, scientific e.t.c. It was a contemporary demand to have a meeting of scientists from various countries and especially from countries of the Eastern Europe and the Balkan area, where the various problems concerning the scientific, technological and research fields could be studied and discussed. The goals of this meeting would be: mutual information, broadening of cooperation possibilities through common research programs, as well as possible development of a common policy in certain sections of science and technology of mutual interest. The realization of this meeting, which came true with the initiative, the moral of the NATO Scientific Affairs Division gave the and full economical support pursued results included in the present volume. It was my pleasure to act as the Director of the NATO ARW and I am most grateful to the NATO Scientific Affairs Division for the financial support and especially to its Programme Director, Dr. Alain Jubier, whose contribution to every step of the workshop was essential so that this meeting would be effective.

About this title

Synopsis

The important geopolitical changes of the last decade in the broad area of Eastern Europe have led to changes in the policy and strategy in many fields; social, economic, commercial and scientific among them. "Science Policy and Research Management in the Balkan Countries" draws together scientists from the area in a discussion centred on the exchange of information, broadening cooperation, and the possible development of common policy in areas of mutual interest. Important differences between the participants' countries emerged: differences in the development of general research activities as between free market and centrally planned systems. The situation at the moment is transitional and is evolving rapidly. The reader will thus obtain a snapshot of the various ways of confronting research activities, the ranking of research priorities, and the dissemination and evaluation of results throughout the Balkan region.
