A User Workshop of the ESRC European Context of UK Science
Policy Programme
Friday 6 November 1998
National Institute for Economic and Social Research,

Is there a European Labour Market in SET? How does it work? How does the
UK use its highly qualified human resources in relation to its competitors?
What have we learned for UK policy and what do we need to know? These are
