This document which was prepared by Madame Danielle Alloin may serve as a first introduction to the legal instruments that govern scientific co-operation in Europe for large-scale projects and programmes or as a brief résumé depending on the reader's previous knowledge of this corpus. All the large facilities discussed here are located in Western Europe. Concern for a homogenous presentation has led the author not to extend the analysis to the means of co-operation that have existed and still exist in the former Soviet Union. The Secretariat of the Megascience Forum considers that it may be useful to governments interested in participating in one of the European co-operative efforts, or those exploring new formulas for setting up entirely new co-operative programmes, to have access to a synthesis of procedures that have been used in Europe.

This document formed part of the documentation for Ministers in charge of research at the Meeting of the Committee for Scientific and Technological Policy (CSTP) at Ministerial level on 26 and 27 September 1995.
