3 Coordination of research is an «old story» Treaty of Rome (1957): Agriculture «coordination of efforts in the spheres of training, research and dissemination of knowledge.» Contribute to the objectives of the CAP Standing Committee on Agricultural Research 1974 (SCAR) Council Regulation 1728/74 on the coordination of agricultural research

4 SCAR today «New» SCAR revitalised in 2004 : transfer from AGRI to RTD, new global context High representatives in charge of the national public agricultural research portfolio Total 37 countries: 27 MS + 3 AS + 7 CC SCAR Collaborative Working Groups (CWGs) 2005 European Animal Health & Welfare Research
