A good place to start is an idea supported by French Socialist leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who has proposed that 0.25% of Europe’s GDP be dedicated to research and used to create a European Agency for Research. Moreover, Europe must build up tools for strategic analysis, assessment, and forecasting to provoke and nourish public debate.
法国社会党领袖史特劳斯卡恩提出的计划是个不错的开始，他提出欧洲国内生产总值的0.25%用做科研经费，建立欧洲研究所。不仅如此，欧洲必须开发战略分析、评估以及预测激发和催生公众辩论的工具。上述整个欧洲范围内的思想家们必须保持自由和独立，而领袖们则需倾听他们的意见，并把他们的建议融入制定决策的过程。
