Norway: Small Country Plans Civil Science and Technology: Experience suggests how cooperative applied science programs can be linked to national goals and needs.
Smaller countries-and even more advanced large countries-need to carefully plan and allocate their limited resources in civil science and technology for maximum impact in terms of national goals. Norway's recently completed 2(1/2)-year attempt at more formal planning in the civil-industrial sector may suggest some useful approaches to this complex problem. It should also offer helpful insights to those interested in broad-scale, government-private planning in science and technology elsewhere.
