DESCRIPTION:\nOne of the most persistent changes in the governance of pub
 lic science in Europe since the 1990s has been the shift in most countri
 es to a greater reliance on competitive allocation of funding to public 
 research. This move has meant that research funding which has hitherto b
 een an under researched theme in science policy is now becoming a topica
 l issue (Laudel\, 2005\; Davenport\, et al. 2003\, Hornbostel\, 2009).  
 For many research systems\, the increased reliance on competitively allo
 cated funding implies increased influence for research funders. This is 
 related to the fact that in most countries\, competitively allocated fun
 ding to research is channeled via research funding agencies or research 
 councils. Despite their growing importance\, research funding agencies a
 re still rarely the subject of independent research. Still rarer are sys
 tematic 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 th
 e research funding member organisations to interrogate the problem of ho
 w science policy practices disseminate across nations. The study finds t
 hat the ESF through a combination of different mechanisms served as an i
 mportant platform for policy learning about collaboration. \n
