Abstract
Last year, a Science Editorial (29 August 2003) surveyed recent developments in European science and research policy. It highlighted the call for a restructuring that would double support for science, with a renewed focus on basic research, better priority-setting, regional centers of excellence, integration of European Union (EU) science policy with respect to broader issues, and a new balance between basic and applied research. It hinted at the formation of a European Research Council (ERC) as a partial answer to dissatisfactions expressed by researchers with the EU's Framework Programmes for research funding.
