European Tribune - Comments - Happy Birthday EU

Happy Birthday EU | 77 comments (77 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

It doesn't make that much sense, because you end up with different people talking about different things. When I hear the right-wing party here talking about funding research at the same time that they're talking about "partnership with business" it is pretty clear to me that they're talking about subsiding product development, not more money for fundamental research.

Re: Happy Birthday EU (4.00 / 3)

Business is not going to engage in fundamental research. The problem I see is that the EU's own research framework programmes are oriented towards applications to the detriment of fundamental research. So the EU is picking up the slack of business, and encouraging researchers to do less fundamental research.
