Abstract

The author investigates how the European Union (EU) was able to become the central actor in science and research policy at the European level. The initial thesis is that the predecessor organisations of the current EU were in no way predestined to achieve such a pre-eminent position when they were founded in the 1950s. Instead, the European Communities were late-comers in this area, in which other international organisations were already active - parallel to local, national and global actors. Against this background, the article describes the key steps of the EU's rise to prominence and analyses stages and reasons for the EU's increased importance in this policy field.
