This report suggests ways to revise the data collection activities of the Science Resources Studies Division (SRS) of the National Science Foundation to better capture the current realities of R&D funding and S&E human resources. The report (TM)s recommendations would improve the relevance of the data on graduate education, the labor market for scientists and engineers, and the funding and conduct of research and development, and thus better meet the data needs of policymakers, managers, and researchers.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)ResearchUnited StatesEvaluationEngineeringResearchUnited StatesEvaluationResearchEvaluation.EngineeringResearchEvaluation.507/.2/073National Research Council (U.S.).Committee to Assess the Portfolio of the Division of Science Resources Studies of NSFMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911101533203321Measuring the science and engineering enterprise4692382UNINA03654oam 2200589I 450 991110395830332120241009133101.01-315-85205-51-317-91754-5978131585205810.4324/9781315852058(PPN)271485531(CKB)2550000001345748(MiAaPQ)EBC1770539(OCoLC)897464709(FlBoTFG)9781315852058(EXLCZ)99255000000134574820180706d2015 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierSpace and place in Central and Eastern Europe historical trends and perspectives /Gyula Horvath1st ed.New York :Routledge,2015.1 online resource (273 pages) illustrationsRegions and Cities ;770-415-72774-X 1-322-07372-4 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.pt. 1. Regional development : processes, frameworks and driving forces -- pt. 2. National characteristics of regional development and policy: country case studies -- pt. 3. Inter-regional co-operation in Central Europe."Across Europe there is a rapidly changing context for undertaking regional development. In the 20th century, development of the former planned economies (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia), was defined by these countries differences, rather than their common ideological roots. These disparities altered over time and were marked by changing social structures. However, the ranking of regions has remained the same as core areas have strengthened their positions while the structural obstacles to the modernisation of peripheral areas have remained due to a lack of coherent regional policy. This book examines the specific regional development paths of Central and Eastern European countries and evaluates the effects of the determining factors of this process. Through analysis of the system of objectives, instruments and institutions used in different eras, and case studies of Hungary, East Germany and Germany, development models are established and compared with Western European patterns. The book summarises the experiences of Central and Eastern European regional cooperation and examines the basic nature of the cohesion problems of the Carpathian Basin trans-national macro region. It confirms by comparative historical analyses that the transformation was indeed unique. This book will make a welcome addition to the literature for students and academics interested in the broader picture of Central and Eastern European politics, future integration within the European Union and the history of regional development processes"--Provided by publisher.Regions and cities ;77.Regional planningEurope, CentralRegional planningEurope, EasternSustainable developmentEurope, CentralSustainable developmentEurope, EasternRegional planningRegional planningSustainable developmentSustainable development307.1/20943BUS000000BUS020000BUS072000bisacshHorvath Gyula1951-,1999906MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911103958303321Space and place in Central and Eastern Europe4782390UNINA
