Special Day
on pan-European Co-operation and Technology Transfer
Zakopane, Poland, 28 August 1996
The Special Day on Pan European Cooperation and Technology Transfer in Zakopane is a most valuable inducement to analyze the role of the European Union in the comprehensive transformation of Poland at the turn of the 20th and 21st century. I would like to discuss this challenging problem in the following topical framework:
1. The integration machine,
2. The greatest chapters of Polish history,
3. The challenge for the Polish society,
4. The challenge for the Polish Economy,
5. The challenge for the Polish State,
6. The challenge of the ability to create and absorb innovations,
7. The opportunities created by Technology Transfer,
8. The special role of the Polish regional scene,
9. The passive and active role of the European Union,
10. The challenges of the art and wisdom of long terms approaches.
Naturally, this framework and the content of my paper is related not only to the objective reality but also to the subjective sphere of my academic experience and value judgments in analysis of the Polish and European scene. I hope, however, that my presentation will be an useful contribution for this Special Day.
