Ce n'est pas une guerre comme les autres. Le territoire � conqu�rir est invisible, le front est partout, les combattants sont peu nombreux, mais leur valeur est inestimable. Ainsi va la guerre pour les cerveaux. Pour y tenir son rang, un pays doit savoir attirer, former et stimuler les meilleurs esprits du monde. Il doit les encourager � explorer les pistes les plus folles, � casser les codes pour inventer l'impensable d'o� jailliront les innovations d'apr�s-demain.
Dans cette bataille haletante, les pays occidentaux ont longtemps tenu la corde gr�ce � leurs grandes universit�s. D�sormais, le monde �mergent, Chine en t�te, contre-attaque. Les pays arabes, arm�s de leurs p�trodollars, se r�vent en carrefours du savoir. Les petits, comme la Suisse et Singapour, peuvent d�sormais d�tr�ner les grands .
L'argent ne suffit pas. L'intelligence de tr�s haut niveau ne se d�ploie que dans un environnement fait d'autant de libert� que de rigueur, o� la recherche fondamentale doit pouvoir d�fier l'ordre �tabli tout en acceptant des processus d'�valuation draconiens. Ce sont les r�gles d'engagement d'une ru�e vers l'intelligence qui ne fait que commencer et dont les vainqueurs domineront le monde avant le milieu de ce si�cle.
