European decline, why? Phd grad ths EU-27 100 US 52 In S&E 40 19 Patents/mlninh EU-27 117 US 106 Publications 38% 31% but • The EU contributes less than the US to high-impact publications • The EU is not specialised in the most dynamic research disciplines • Most Nobel Prize winners come from the USA (expats and emigrants) • Highest impact technologies come from the USA • Highest ranked universities are in the USA and • Largest growth in HE and S&T is in Asia and Brasil !!!
The focal issue How to address the young generation of talented Europeans to regain their trust, confidence and the will to build their personal future HERE - in Europe ? Polish problem vis a vis Europe isthe same as Europe vis a vis the USA

General hints • SF is the EU –”Marshall Plan” • NMS must invest and not just spend. • Building a pro-innovative capacity is a must • National policy must be backed by regional &metropolitanS3 approach • Countries to follow: Finland, Israel, Korea, Norway Caring for talent is a priority

Innovativeness doneintherightway Yes, but before • Analysis of human capital and itsperspective • Analysis of comparative advantages (no need to copy Silicon Valley) – ex anteanalysis • Local strategy collectively(region, municipality, academics, business) • Agreement and determination to change old thinking (education !!!)
