Lecture: "European integration in research: accomplishments and
challenges"
Prof. Dame Helen Wallace (Foreign Secretary, British Academy)
European integration of research governance has taken many forms
within the European Union and outside (e.g. CERN, Global Research
Council). One of the milestones in the development of European Union
research policy has been the establishment of a common funding
program in 1984, known as the "Framework Program" and currently as
Horizon 2020. While the majority of research funding still is
allocated at the national level, EU-level funding schemes play an
important role in promoting EU-wide research collaboration, but also
in creating competition and defining "excellence".
These developments raise a number of questions of relevance in
Austria and beyond: How are research policies adapted and how do
national governments and universities in various countries adjust to
changes in European and global research governance (e.g. Austria vs.
UK)? What are commonalities and differences between member states and
between different actors? How much autonomy is left in today’s
research governance for national governments, universities,
departments and individual researchers, particularly considering
crisis-endangered budgets? Finally: What is the EU’s role in a fast
changing global research landscape, and are European integration and
globalization of research complementary or competing developments?
