Industry is experiencing fundamental changes in its operations, structure, mores and economies. These changes are caused by intensification of international competition; restructuring of several large economic blocks; changing societal values; and new organizational paradigms. The following is a terse, condensed summary of what the author sees as twelve major changes affecting the European research establishment in the coming years. This is a strictly private view, based on personal experience gained from working in European, US and Japanese industries, and several European universities and research centres.

Abstract. The In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System is a European research infrastructure that equips Airbus A340/330 with a system for monitoring atmospheric composition. The IAGOS instruments have three different configurations: IAGOS-CORE, IAGOS-MOZAIC and IAGOS-CARIBIC. Since 1994, there have been a total of 17 aircraft equipped. In this study, we perform an inter-comparison of about 8000 landing and take-off profiles to compare the O3 and CO measurements performed from these different configurations. The collocated profiles used in the study met various selection criteria. The first was a maximal 1 hour time difference between an ascent or descent by two different aircraft at the same airport and the second was a selection based on the similarity of air masses based on the meteorological data acquired by the aircraft. We provide here an evaluation of the internal consistency of the O3 and CO measurements since 1994. For both O3 and CO, we find no drift in the bias amongst the different instrument units (6 O3 and 6 CO IAGOS-MOZAIC instruments, 9 IAGOS-CORE Package 1 and the 2 instruments used in the IAGOS-CARIBIC aircraft). This results gives us confidence that the entire IAGOS data base can be treated as one continuous program, and is therefore appropriate for studies of long-term trends.

Over the past decade, a number of European Union initiatives have sought to increase the level of contact between scientists and engineers in member states. These initiatives have been associated with increased mobility within Europe, in particular at the student and post-doctoral levels. There has, however, been little research on trends in the recruitment and employment of non-national staff within Europe. This article draws on the results of a survey carried out to investigate the patterns of employment and recruitment of non-national scientists and engineers in European research centres and the factors which lie behind current trends.

The gross energy of any pig feed is not completely available to the animal with losses occurring in faeces, urine, methane and heat. The NE system of feed evaluation should be more accurate in predicting animal performance since it takes into account these energy losses and the metabolic utilisation of energy. The NE system ascribes a relatively higher value to energy from fat and a lower value to energy from protein sources than the DE system. One method of deriving NE is to multiply DE by a factor of 0.71 (Noblet, 1996a). A wide range of more complex NE systems are currently in use involving individual feed ingredient data collected at various European research centres. This study was designed to compare a range of NE systems with data obtained from slaughter balance studies on 8-12 week old pigs using a range of diets for growing pigs differing in CP and DE levels.
