The book deals with the effects of the research and technological development (RTD) policy of the European Community (EC) on the German research landscape and the interactions between the EC and the German policy. A systematic attempt at a cross-programme and country specific level to examine these impacts empirically has not previously been undertaken. Viewed as a whole, the EC programmes promoted the exchange of ideas, technology and knowledge within the Community and strengthened the scientific and technical basis in Germany, although the national German RTD policy does not lose its predominant influence.
