(EC
rc) A joint resea
rch organisation founded in 1984 on the initiative of three major European manufacturers:
Bull (France),
ICL (UK) and
Siemens (Germany). Its activities were intended to enhance the future competitive ability of the European
Information Technology industry and thus complement the work of national and international bodies. The Centre is intended to be the breeding ground for those ideas, techniques and products which are essential for the future use of electronic information processing. The work of the Centre will focus on advanced information processing technology for the next generation of computers. EC
rc is an independent company, owned equally by its shareholders. The formal interface between EC
rc and its shareholders consists of two bodies: The Shareholders' Council, which approves the Centre' s programmes and budgets and supervises their execution and the Scientific Advisory Board, which advises the Shareholders' Council in determining future resea
rch directions. There are many collaborations between EC
rc and its shareholders' companies on specific projects (Technology Transfer, prospective studies etc). The Centre is staffed by highly qualified scientists drawn from different countries. Resea
rch staff are hired directly by EC
rc, as well as some who come on assignment from the member companies, and others seconded from public resea
rch agencies and universities. Seminars are held which bring together specialists from the Centre and the member companies. EC
rc' s mission is to pursue resea
rch in fundamental areas of computer science. The aim is to develop the theory, methodologies and tools needed to build innovative computer applications. EC
rc contributes actively to the international effort that is expanding the frontiers of knowledge in computer science. It plays an important role in bridging the gap between resea
rch and industry by striving to work at the highest academic level with a strong industrial focus. EC
rc constitutes an opportunity in Europe for the best scientists and offers young resea
rchers the possibility to mature in an environment which exposes them to both fundamental resea
rch and the process of delivering the results to industry. EC
rc plays an important role in Europe and is involved in several European Community initiatives. It is regularly consulted by the Commission of the European Communities on strategic issues, such as the definition of future resea
rch plans, international co-operation and relationships between academia and industry. Address: EC
