During the last years, important geopolitical changes took place in the broader area of Eastern Europe, having as a consequence, among others, the change of policy and strategy in many fields such as social, economical, commercial, scientific e.t.c. It was a contemporary demand to have a meeting of scientists from various countries and especially from countries of the Eastern Europe and the Balkan area, where the various problems concerning the scientific, technological and research fields could be studied and discussed. The goals of this meeting would be: mutual information, broadening of cooperation possibilities through common research programs, as well as possible development of a common...
It is well known that the Academies of Sciences in Western Europe have different goals than those of Eastern Europe mainly due to their independent status. Although some of the Academies in the West supervise research activities or some institutes, their main mission is to stimulate and access scientific developments in their own countries. In particular, they have a mission to advise their governments and other central bodies on science policy and organization of research. The Academies of Central and Eastern Europe supervise numerous research institutes with a relatively large number of research scientists. Also, many of these institutes carry out basic and applied research isolated from t...
Recent developments in information and communication technology (ICT) have paved the way for a world of advanced communication, intelligent information processing and ubiquitous access to information and services. The ability to work, communicate, interact, conduct business, and enjoy digital entertainment virtually anywhere is r- idly becoming commonplace due to a multitude of small devices, ranging from mobile phones and PDAs to RFID tags and wearable computers. The increasing number of connected devices and the proliferation of networks provide no indication of a sl- down in this tendency. On the negative side, misuse of this same technology entails serious risks in various aspects, such ...

This is the tenth volume of a continuing series intended to provide a forum for publication of develop ments in f:lossbauer Effect t1ethodology and in Spectroscopy and its applications. r~ossbauer Effect t·1ethodo 1 ogy, Vo 1 ume 1 0, records the proceedings of the Tenth Symposium on r10ssbauer Effect Hethodo 1 ogy. The Sympos i urn \'laS sponsored by the Ne~" England Nuclear Corporation, with special emphasis on applications in catalysis and in biology. The Symposium VIaS held in the t, lercury Ballroom of the New York Hilton on February 1, 1976. Dr. f,1. Good presided over the meeting. 11ore than one hundred participants were involved in the technical sessions and the exhibit of H5ssbauer effect instruments, equipment and materials by Elscint, Inc., Ranger Engineering and New England Nuclear. Continued evolution and improvement was the keynote of the ex hi bi to As has been our experience in recent Symposia, many more papers were submitted than could be accommodated. The Selection Committee was hard-pressed to limit the number of papers, and the sessions were lengthy, despite their efforts.
Since the European Research Area was launched at the beginning of the century, significant efforts have been made to realise the vision of a coherent space for science and research in Europe. But how does one define such a space and measure its development? This timely book analyses the dynamics of change in the policy and governance of science and research within Europe over the past decade. It widens the scope of traditional policy analysis by focusing attention on the interaction between policy rationales, new governance mechanisms, and the organisational dynamics of the scientific field. The contributors build a novel analytical framework to understand the European research space as one ...
