The exchange of technological information is an important pre‐requisite for effective joint research. The joint research model has proven itself in Germany. The European steel research network with 13 executive committees, 4 circles of experts assured the highly efficient steel research within the European Community The German Technology Road Map &„Steel research … and the future is light&” and the &„European Technology Road Map to Determine the Research Priorities of the European Steel Industry&” clearly define the focal points of future steel research. The assurance of ECSC research funds even beyond 2002 look promising. Maintaining the network for European steel research remains an important goal keeping European steel research in the future at the same level. Phasing‐in to the 5 th European frame work programme is absolutely a must despite the much more complicated organisational rules of the 5 th EU frame work programme.
