摘要

Protests against McDonalds and high tariffs against Hol-lywood movies suggest that Europe fights hard to defend its traditions and heritage against US cultural assaults. But the Old World nations would love to imi-tate the States in one area: science funding. Institutions like the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation allow scientists in the United States to dominate global research. To give European scientists a better edge, the Sixth Framework Programme, a four-year project ofthe European Union, will provide 17.5 billion for research throughout the 15-state EU. Of that total, at least 2.3 billion have been set aside for life sciences research, and that's on top of funding resources from each member country. But it takes more than simply asking if you want a share of the EU pie. "Never go to Brussels looking for money. Instead, go to [the EU] with a solution to [a] problem," says Sean McCarthy, general director of Watergrasshill, Ireland-based Hyperion, which teaches researchers how to wade through EU grant applications. Like any funding agency, the EU has its own priorities, which often are different from those ofthe researchers who need funding. High-priority issues on the EU agenda include fostering cross-border collaboration, and aiding European industry with commercially exploitable research. Also, the EU secretariat wants to see progress in countries with underdeveloped scientific infrastructure and, awards more money to younger scientists who otherwise have few funding sources.
