EU science policy bibliography

Roberto Olivetti and Mario Tchou in the era of the Treaty of Rome. The two engineers were pioneers of the computer industry in western Europe. Image sourced from Associazione Archivio Storico Olivetti.

It is as if the Commission were incapable of working out its own relationship with history, as if it were torn between two extremes: to vindicate itself by emphasizing the past, by harking back to the pioneering days; or alternatively, to erase the memory of periods of conflict, however, recent, once and for all… Driving without a rear-view mirror.
