Abstract:

Many years ago, in 1983, a General Director of Research of the European Commission, Paolo Fasella, who was university professor, proposed and obtained the creation of an european program to support the connectivity of European researchers. Little money at that time, but as time goes by, this little program becomes the third finantial instrument of the European Union. What happened? Science becomes important because the productive system learns how to make money out of knowledge. Science becomes a part of the economic frame. What else? The economic development based on science and technology produces some undesirable effects, such as climate change, loss of biodiversity and many others, so science is asked to provide solutions to these new challenginmg landscape. Here we are now!
