Abstract
In several European countries there is currently a great political debate about 1993, and the structural and economic changes which will have to come about in Europe within the coming years. Substantial industrial restructuring is taking place and forward planning in the commercial and financial sectors recognizes the profound changes an open market will bring. All this may force us to ask whether the scientific community is undertaking similar efforts to advance cooperation at a European scale and to attempt to achieve the same lack of barriers to thinking and recognition as in the USA (Fischer, 1989). One step towards this rather ambitious goal involves the Scientific Networks initiated and pushed forward by the European Science Foundation (ESF) located in Strasbourg.
