Summary/Abstract: At present time, research and technological development represents one of the most important European common policy, which focuses on the European Union development. The European common policy in this field began with EURATOM Treaty; until 1980 there was not a Community coordination of research nationals policy. The Treaty establishing Economic European Community had any settlement on research, development or innovation. Science became in 1986 a Community responsibility as European Single Act came into force. Research and technological development became European priorities by Maastricht Treaty. This is the moment when European Policy in this field became consistent; it reveals itself as an autonomous policy. European Charter of Fundamentals Rights contains specifics regulations on research and education. The Lisbon Strategy and, then, 2020 Agenda establish the objective: European Union must be transformed into a new “green” market economy based on innovation and knowledge.
