Abstract
The goal of our symposium is plain: we seek an overview of the state of science in the Eastern European countries of the German Democratic Republic, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria — as a group and individually. Such an overview can be a bird’s eye view or, in more contemporary terms, a kind of satellite photograph of the Eastern Bloc’s scientific landscape. Better yet would be some glimpses into the internal dynamics of the scientific life of COMECON countries, in particular of those details that are different from those of the NATO nations.
