Tina Besley has edited this collection which examines and critiques the ways that different countries, particularly Commonwealth and European states, assess the quality of educational research in publicly funded higher education institutions. Such assessment often ranks universities, departments and even individual academics, and plays an important role in determining the allocation of funding to support university research.

La recherche publique française souffre ! Elle souffre de trop de complexité, de trop de papiers à remplir, de trop peu de temps à consacrer à la recherche elle-même. Le chercheur a le sentiment de n'être souvent qu'un simple enjeu administratif entre différentes instances ou organismes, à un moment où la mondialisation des échanges oblige les pays les plus dynamiques à compter sur la créativité et l'innovation pour maintenir un emploi de qualité. Consolider l'existant, ne rien changer, ou pire, faire plaisir à toutes les chapelles qui se sont construites et consolidées au cours des trente dernières années seraient un poison lent qui conduirait à la paralysie de nombreux laboratoires de qualité qui essayent coûte que coûte de se maintenir au meilleur niveau international. La recherche publique doit être attractive pour les esprits les plus curieux, les plus créatifs et les plus avides de connaissance de chaque génération, loin des routines bureaucratiques, afin de continuer à faire de la France un pays de haut niveau intellectuel. C'est dans cet esprit que les membres de l'Académie des sciences ont travaillé, en analysant dix points jugés fondamentaux, en faisant des propositions pour chacun d'entre eux et en dégageant quatre recommandations synthétiques, jugées essentielles pour l'avenir de la recherche publique dans notre pays.

France's economic growth has slowed down after a gradual recovery. Limited productivity and employment gains have reduced the growth of GDP per inhabitant; public spending remains very high. Reducing public expenditures is needed to put debt on a firmly declining path. This and streamlining the tax system would also help reducing taxes, which would boost economic activity eventually.
