| Abstract:
Agricultural research, in Italy, is characterized by the splitting in three main national networks: University, National Research Council (C.N.R.) and Ministry of Agriculture (M.A.F.). In spite of the necessity of a real and strong coordination, the policy of the three administrations has been carried on in a practically indipendent way. The recent establishment of the Ministry of the University and Scientific Research should be the first step toward a better coordination, at least between University and C.N.R., but up to now nothing really important has been done in this direction. The reorganization of the M.A.F. network of Research Institutes, considered necessary by everybody, is under discussion since many years but no one government has been able, up today, to carry it out. A positive approach to the problem was done by the two former Ministries of Scientific Research and Agriculture that named a common commission to find a coordinate solution: the end of the government left the situation as it was. | |
