More Research for Europe - Towards 3% of GDP (2002)

created on 12 Mar 2009

This Communication of 2002 aims at launching a debate on the ways and means of reaching the objectives for R&D investment. It identifies the wide range of policy areas which must be mobilised in a coherent manner. It sets out the main objectives to be pursued in each area, either by intensifying actions already underway in the context of the Lisbon strategy and the European Knowledge Area, or by undertaking new  initiatives. Even where action has been launched and agreed at European level, more needs to be done to ensure that it is delivering results at national and local levels. At the same time, it is recognised that the diversity of situations in Member States and Candidate Countries must allow for a differentiated policy response.
