Mergers: Microsoft and Time Warner abandon acquisition of
control in ContentGuard as Thomson purchases a one third
stake
(15 March 2005)

What is a researcher? European Commission defines roles and
responsibilities (11 March 2005)
The European Commission has today adopted a European Charter for Researchers and a Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. These two documents are key elements in the EU?s policy to make research an attractive career, which is a vital feature of its strategy to stimulate economic and employment growth. The Charter and Code of Conduct will give individual researchers the same rights and obligations wherever they may work throughout the EU. This should help counter the fact that research careers in Europe are fragmented at local, regional, national or sectoral level, and allow Europe to make the most of its scientific potential.
