Summary:
It is argued with the help of specific examples that in spite of the rather weak priority currently being given to physics research, the pursuit of physics research remains the backbone of a sustainable knowledge-based economy.The continuing decline of the number of students majoring in physics is therefore a serious problem. European International Research Organizations, which have the potential , and are well suited , to help reversing the situation, can and should be used to the full in developing the knowledge-based economy.
