Objetivo

In view of the great distances involved and the shortage of research manpower, the following broad guidelines are recommended for the proposed co-operative research research between the commission and the council

  • Both countries should be able to benefit from the co-operatives research programmes.
  • All research programmes should be relevant to, and aimed at, particular problem areas, and the anticipated research results be amanable to practical implementation.
  • Individual researchers or groups of researchers in both countris should already be engaged in particular research projects with a view to the exchange of knowledge in the short term, and also with a view to the long-term promotion of the co-operative research effort.
  • In addition to their being specifically problem oriented, the research programmes should also involve the study of comparative research methodology.
