Science today makes progress through the imaginative harvesting of
knowledge g- erated by the many, rather than as the result of the
isolated endeavours of the lone researcher. Innovations in the
physical sciences from the development of nuclear te- nologies to
the laser, have involved research teams working collectively.
Collabo- tion is the rule rather than the exception. In the social
sciences this model is all but reversed. Here it is not uncommon to
encounter the solitary enthusiast, relishing an independence of
spirit and pursuing their own private research agenda. All the more
surprising then that a group of researchers from several different
disciplines, should have come together in the late 1980s with
nothing more substantial on the agenda than that they share their
thoughts on the topic of measuring the value of health, or more
specifically, on the way that the value of health might vary across
different countries. Few scientific enterprises can have begun as
cautiously or uncertainly. Few can have developed a cohesion and
dynamism that lasted decades and continues to drive ahead after
long years of scientific endeavour. Such is the good fortune that
befell those of us who came together to form what was later to be
known as the Euro- Qol Group. The Group's creation is principally
due to the shared professional asso- ation of its members with one
man, an economist by training and a visionary academic by
inclination and temperament - Alan Williams.
