On a mountainside in sunny Tuscany, in October 1989, 96 people from
23 countries on five continents gathered to learn and teach about
the problems of managing contemporary science. The diversity of
economic and political systems represented in the group was matched
by our occupations, which stretched from science policy
practitioners, through research scientists and engineers, through
academic observers of science and science policy. It was this
diversity, along with the opportunities for infonnal discussion
provided by long meals and remote location, that made the
conference a special learning experience. Except at lecture time,
it was impossible to distinguish the "students" at this event from
the "teachers," and even the most senior members of the teaching
staff went away with a sense that they had learned more from this
group than from many a standard conference on science policy they
had attended. The flavor of the conference experience cannot be
captured adequately in a proceedings volume, and so we have not
tried to create a historical record in this book. Instead, we have
attempted to illustrate the core problems the panicipants at the
conference shared, discussed, and debated, using both lectures
delivered by the fonnal teaching staff and summaries of panel
discussions, which extended to other panicipants and therefore
increased the range of experiences reponed.
