''We live in a world of increasing and systemic unpredictability.
Accelerating technological change empowers individuals and organizations
to be far more productive and destructive than ever before. National
and other boundaries are eroded as links between individuals, between
collectives and between countries multiply at an unprecedented pace. And
whilst physical distance becomes less and less significant, vast and
rapidly expanding populations are located in parts of the planet that
are challenged for resources, food and energy. In this context, Europe’s
research, innovation and higher education system lies at the core of
its economic and social prospects. The report ‘The knowledge future:
intelligent policy choices for Europe 2050’ elaborates on challenges and
opportunities that three ‘megatrends’ — globalization, demographic
change and technological change — represent for Europe’s research,
innovation and higher education system, and suggests a number of ideas
that could find a place in EU policy for research and innovation..''
