RTD benchmarking conference

A call for papers has been issued by DG Research, organisers of a conference looking at the contribution of European socio-economic research to the benchmarking of RTD (research and technological development) policies in Europe, to be held in Brussels on 15 and 16 March 2001.

The need for benchmarking of RTD policies draws instructions from Europe's research ministers in June to benchmark member state's RTD policies in the following areas:

- human resources
- public and private investment
- scientific and technological productivity
- impact on economic competitiveness and employment

The deadline for submission of (analytical, empirical, strategic or synthetic) papers is 10 November.
