Future Research Policies

Abstract

This paper intends to point to some aspects that might be important for future research on AIDS. Doing that I shall, however, not restrain myself to research policies. Indeed, it would be more appropriate to put this word of my paper’s title — research — into brackets. I shall try to outline frame, content and purpose of EC cooperation in fighting AIDS and to show what effective contribution this meeting, the COMAC-HSR and a “concerted action” will possibly be able to make. In addition, this is an attempt to give at least part of an answer to the question what objectives research on the economic aspects of AIDS should try to attain.
