VISION & STRATEGY
KNOWLEDGE BASED ECONOMY- 2003
EUROPEAN INTEGRATION OF
THE SOCIETY AND INDUSTRY 2007
HIGH IMPACT IS ESPECTED TO OUTCOME FROM THE
DOMESTIC SCIENCE, EDUCATION & INNOVATION SYSTEM.
- THERE IS A NATIONAL CONSENSUS THAT BOTH THE
EDUCATION SYSYEM & THE NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC
BENEFITS HAVE TO BE CHANGED.
- REGARDING THE HIGHER EDUCATION: REQUIREMENTS
TO MEET THE BROAD - SPECTRUM TRAINING FOR NEW
GENERATION SCIENTISTS.SCIENTIFIC SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS (BAS)-
TO GENERATE HIGH QUALITY RESEARCH FOR NEXT TECH
SOCIETY (>N,>E, >G), INCLUDING NANOSCIENCE & TECHN.
