This millennium's Air Traffic Management (ATM) challenges can only be faced with a new paradigm for ATM research in Europe. The rising delays, the legitimate concerns over ATM safety (collision risk) in the air as well as on the ground and the growing environmental pressure necessitates the review of ATM R&D performance in Europe and the adoption of a new way of R&D co-ordination, h is argued that a rich diversity of ATM R&D ("piuriformity") is necessary to create a fruitful basis for ATM innovation, h is important that clear goals are set to the desired ATM performance and that a strong central direction will be needed to co-ordinate ATM R&D in Europe and to couple the R&D results to the targets. This in turn will demand the reshaping of the landscape of R&D providers into clusters with their own special expertise to combat fragmentation of R&D, whilst maintaining competition in the areas of innovative and applied R&D.
