Inhaltsangabe

The course, organized by the Slovenian Science Foundation, was designed to provide public administrators with knowledge and skills to overcome some of the problems facing them in science policy management. Science managers working to internationalize science could also find useful information. Presentations from the course are augmented with a few other studies that additionally illuminate the situation in Central and Southeast Europe. The overall themes are issues in science and technology policy, science and technology in nine specific countries and the region as a whole, and peer review and lobbying for research and development as part of management in science. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book analyses different aspects of science and technology policy in South East Europe (SEE). Some of these countries, particularly the ones facing political and economic crises, are still not integrated into the international community. Furthermore, their scientific communities have not been able to seize the opportunities offered to them on the international level. This has often been the consequence of the fact that R&D is not supported by efficient science policies. In addition, many of the SEE countries have not been able to develop modern management approaches in science. As a result, national scientific communities often do not have the support and information that they need to become integral and active players in the international arena. Without modern management strategies, these countries will not be able to use all of their intellectual and other resources, which are an essential part of economic development. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of S&T policies in SEE countries for the first time and brings these countries into comparative perspective with Central European and other EU countries. In addition, the volume contains analysis of several important science policy issues (human resource management, management of quality and finance, peer review and networking); in this respect, the volume will be of interest to a wider audience interested in S&T policy-making in general.
