These recommendations were based on the principle that in a period of rapid technological and scientific development, it was difficult for any one institution or country to undertake all necessary sci entific research on any given subject matter. The Conferences recommended the basic purpose and main objectives of the system, namely to: promote voluntary exchange of information and experimental data on selected subject matters; support joint applied research on selected subject matters of common interest according to an accepted methodology, agreed division of tasks and timetable; facilitate voluntary exchange of persons, germplasm and technologies; establish close links between European researchers and institutions working on the same subject and to stimulate interaction; accelerate the transfer of European technology advances to, and cooperation with, developing countries. The present paper briefly reviews development of the system since its inception and activities of networks in the period 1996-98. It focuses on adjustments in programmatic orientation and changes in organizational structures that took place in the period under review.
