Under the guidance of the Council of Europe's ad hoc Committee for Educational Research, a survey was conducted in 1970 to provide detailed yet concise information on the educational research policy of member governments, on the main educational research organizations, and on the major educational research projects reported or in progress at that time. This was the second such survey, the first one having been completed in 1968. In this second volume of the report, Denmark, Ireland, Finland, and Norway are covered. Each country responded to a detailed questionnaire which inquired into the nature of stimulation, coordination, finance, and priority areas of each country's official educational research organizations, as well as the history, structure, funding, staff, and current activities of these organizations. Information is also provided on educational research projects that are carried out by organizations not primarily concerned with educational research. (JY)
