Abstract
In this chapter, the research perspective of the volume is introduced. Firstly, three major changes of the governance of research are described: the changing relationship of government and universities, new instruments and roles at the organisational level and the the role of the European Commission as a funding agency. Secondly, the governance theory is presented as an analytical perspective for the study of these changes. Thirdly a brief introduction of the chapters is given.

The research group was established in 2003 and was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) between 2003 and 2010. The group was set up by seven different research projects and one coordination project. This is the third joint publication of the research group. The first book on “New Forms of Governance in Research Organizations – Disciplinary Approaches, Interfaces and Integration”, also published with Springer, outlined the interdisciplinary approach of the group. The second book “Governance and Performance in the German Public Research Sector: Disciplinary Differences”, published in the Higher Education Dynamics Series, focused on governance and the effects on different disciplinary fields. This volume is an outcome of the final conference of the group. The conference took place in March 2010. The members of the research group presented their final results – complemented by scientists outside the group: Andrea Kottmann, Arie Rip and Tembile Kulati, Christine Musselin, Andrea Bonaccorsi, Philippe Larédo, and Christine Godt. We thank the German Research Foundation for funding and the complementing authors for their contributions.
