据美国研究理事会的咨询委员会说,随着1992年——即建立单一的欧州市场的那一年——日益接近,英国的科学研究正在落到其它国家的后面。7月27日,该委员会公布了它给前教育秘书肯尼思·贝克尔的一份报告,其中提到了若干令人忧虑的迹象,这些迹象表明在世界科研成果中出自英国的成果所占的比例正在下降,报告认为在今后三年内英国需要增加三亿六千万英镑的投资来促进科学事业的发展,以为1992年的到来作好准备。 1988年秋,英国政府曾宣布将在今后三年内追加近一亿英镑科研经费,然而上述咨询委员会——它的责任是就研究资金如何分配给大学的问题向政府提出建议——却指出,按实际价值计算,这三年中的科研经费将减少百分之三;即使考虑到增加的这笔经费,英国的科研投资每年仍比其主要的欧洲竞争对手少1亿5千万英镑到2亿英镑。
According to the advisory board of the Research Council of the United States, as 1992, the year of the establishment of a single European market, has come closer and closer, the scientific research in the United Kingdom is falling behind the rest of the world. On 27 July, the Commission released a report to Kenneth Becker, former Secretary of State for Education, which cited a number of disturbing signs that the share of achievements made by the United Kingdom in world scientific research The proportion is declining, the report believes that within the next three years, Britain needs to increase 360 million pounds of investment to promote the development of science in order to prepare for the arrival of 1992. In the fall of 1988, the British government announced that it would spend nearly 100 million pounds of scientific research funding over the next three years. However, the above advisory committee, whose responsibility it is to advise the government on how to allocate funds to universities, points out that according to the actual The value of research will cut research funding by 3% in these three years; even with this additional funding in mind, investment in research in the UK is still 150 million pounds to 200 million pounds less than its major European competitors each year .
