Britain and France are setting up a series of high-level specialist
workshops to identify areas for future scientific collaboration. The groups
are the fruits of a meeting of scientists and science advisers from the
two countries held last week at the Royal Society.
The meeting focused on areas such as new materials and 鈥榗lean鈥� technologies,
and on multinational projects such as Eureka. The workshops will investigate
priorities for human genome research and satellite observation.
