Stockholm, Sweden, June 15-16, 2001

The meeting will be held by the European Association for Research Managers and Administrators (EARMA).

So far, several topics under this heading have been identified for further consideration (with concurrent sessions organised in several tracks):

• research management and administration - to greater professional competence;
• equal opportunity in science - how to create a research environment feasible for both sexes;
• towards a European patent;
• follow-up on the Fifth Framework Programme;
• full cost versus additional cost - new methods of accounting.

In anticipation of the enlargement of the European Union, EARMA is also developing ideas to involve colleagues from preaccession countries in its activities.

The organisers plan to offer participants a "pre-conference", starting in Helsinki, Finland. Part of the programme will be carried out during the boat trip from Helsinki to Stockholm. The organisers are inviting participants' suggestions for topics to be addressed during the conference.
