The February 1997 edition of "Euroabstracts", providing information and abstracts of RTD-related publications from the European Community, has recently been published. The first section gives brief summaries of a number of publications relating to RTD policy within the EU, in third countries and in international organizations. In this issue these include articles on "technology watch" activities and scientific assessment in different countries, as well as articles about biotechnology, nanotechnology and EUREKA.
