Research and innovation help deliver jobs, prosperity and quality of life. Although the EU is the global leader in many technologies, it faces increasing challenges from traditional competitors and emerging economies alike.

The United States has fallen behind most of the developed world in the quality of its educational system. According to figures from the OECD the United States ranks 27th in the world in Math education, and 22nd in the world in Science education. American students were once near the top of all world education rankings. Today, they are ...
