Abstract
This report gives an overview of the EU engagement in the research and technology. A brief historical account is included, as well as a discussion of future perspectives in this area in view of the broader R&D cooperation which the Maastricht Treaty opens for.
The EU engagement toward "third countries" is dealt with in a separate article. An account of the Nordic countries and their relation to the EU in this area is also included. Finally, a pilot study of the Norwegian experience with the Third Framework Programme is dealt with in a separate article.
