Research development on a European scale is a recognized requirement if European efforts in many areas of science and technology are to keep pace with competition from overseas. Polymer science is no exception. At a recent European Polymer Federation Conference a round‐table discussion was held on “Eurotopics” such as Optoelectronics, Supramolecular Architectures, Computer‐Aided Polymer Research, Processing, Combustion, and Colloids. here, progress is summarized and future Europe‐wide activities presented.
