The European Science Notes Information Bulletin (ESNIB) 92-01 focuses on Materials Research in Europe. Europe is orchestrating a union of educational, corporate, and government research centers, as well as technical societies motivated by the 1992 deadline. Although there has been cooperation in the past, realization that the union is near has catalyzed more vigorous activities. Via partnerships in research and materials development, a quid pro quo can be established with the European Community. The ties can be most easily established at four parallel levels: (1) government/government, (2) university/university, (3) defense agency/defense agency, and (4) industry/industry. The materials research field can be a model for this program since the research direction at the basic research level is clear, the community is relatively small, and the contacts are well established.
