Abstract
In the period of systemic and economic transformation of the post-communist countries, there is an urgent need to ascertain to what degree the established profile of science in these countries is complementary to that of the EU and the rest of the world, and what are the chances of turning inherited specialisations to advantage in international cooperation.
