One of the most persistent changes in the governance of public science in Europe since the 1990s has been the shift in most countries to a greater reliance on competitive allocation of funding to public research. This move has meant that research funding which has hitherto been an under researched theme in science policy is now becoming a topical issue (Laudel, 2005; Davenport, et al. 2003, Hornbostel, 2009). For many research systems, the increased reliance on competitively allocated funding implies increased influence for research funders. This is related to the fact that in most countries, competitively allocated funding to research is channeled via research funding agencies or research councils. Despite their growing importance, research funding agencies are still rarely the subject of independent research. Still rarer are systematic studies of the diffusion and dissemination of practices employed by funders and other science policy principals to govern science. This paper uses a qualitative study of the European Science Foundation and the research funding member organisations to interrogate the problem of how science policy practices disseminate across nations. The study finds that the ESF through a combination of different mechanisms served as an important platform for policy learning about collaboration.
