Trends & Prospects in R&D

R&D Invariably Plays an Important role in Addressing The Interwoven challenges of an Economy. Having Endured The Worst Recessionary periods, The Global R&D outlook for 2011 looks Increasingly Stable & Positive. The R&D spend is Anticipated to Increase to almost $1.2 trillion. B&e’s ReflEction of The Trends and Prospects.

European union a concern

The available statistics and forecasts thereof make it amply clear that growth in research and development (R&D) has resumed following the recession induced cuts in advanced economies. The global spending on R&D is anticipated to increase to $1.2 trillion in 2011. Amongst the global research community, the state of R&D in European Union is the most concerning. The EU has failed to reach the “3% by 2010” mark primarily because of the banking failures and the massive support required by Greece, Spain and Ireland. The active environment for collaborations with emerging economies such as China and India hold a lot of promise for the European R&D. Still struggling to recover from the economic downturn R&D investment in Japan and Germany is not keeping pace with Asia.

It’s not American!

Javier promotes a different brand of politics to deal with crises

This Spanish physicist turned strategist is a die-hard European. Having held the Secretary-General’s post at NATO from 1995-99, Javier Solana has been in the thick of security planning of the amalgamated continent. Now, as the High Representative (HR) for the Common Foreign & Security Policy (CFSP) of the European Union, he has an onerous task at hand of managing the inherent & emerging contradictions in a highly globalised world. From Tehran to Trinidad, Javier had been engaged is promoting the unique blend of EU’s way of dealing with conflicts & crisis in the 50th year of the European Union.

His astute diplomatic skills and his vast experience in handling vexed issues came to the fore during the year. “For the Europeans, the signature of the Lisbon Treaty in December is very important. It will give us better instruments to face new challenges. On the international stage, we will continue to work closely with our partners and the international community to contribute to peace in the world. Stabilising the situation in the Balkans and the peace process in the Middle East will be top priorities,” Javier Solana told exclusively to B&E.
