	ASEE PRISM - DECEMBER 2006 - PLEASE DON’T GO - BY THOMAS K. GROSE
		A November 2005 European Union report, “The Brain Drain—Emigration Flows for Qualified Scientists,” says an exodus of European scientists and researchers to the United States that began in the 1950s is worsening.
		European academics began noting the brain drain in the 1950s, and the term caught on after it was used in a 1963 study by Britain’s Royal Society.
		Meanwhile, Joost J.A. van Asten, managing director of the League of European Research Universities (LERU), says he’s seen nothing in the more than two years since the release of the EU report that would lead him to conclude that things were improving.

	EUROPA - Research - RTD info -Special Issue - August 2003 - University challenge
		Standing at the crossroads of research, education and innovation, universities are strategically placed to influence the scientific and technological future of society.
		The EUA believes that 'universities recognise the need to attract more private funds and have more diverse sources of funding, although the situation varies a great deal from one country to another.' It also fears that only certain highly attractive institutions would be able to manage and achieve a balance between various partnerships.
		Universities are rooted in the national or regional environment and differ considerably in terms of methods of governance, legal and administrative frameworks, internal organisation, and so on.

		No single European country has the brain power or the financial clout to challenge America's scientific preeminence, so the E.U. is trying to develop a European Research Area — a "common market" for science — building networks, pooling strengths and raising standards regionwide.
		European research Commissioner Philippe Busquin points to an E.U. funding program called the Sixth Framework, which is backing Tschöp's obesity work, as proof that the money is there for good research.
		And if researchers don't see opportunities for reward, they'll take their talent to the States, where innovation and hard work are rewarded with generous grants, full credit and a financial stake in your work.
