NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Academic Industry- Relations Conference; Aquafredda di Maratea, Italy August 31-Sept 6, 1991.

这一奖励是为了资助八名美国研究人员参加在意大利阿夸弗雷达举行的北约高级研究研讨会(ARW)的海外旅费。研讨会的主题是“学术与产业的关系”。私人情报员亨利·埃茨科维茨博士负责组织这一领域的美国顶尖研究人员出席和参与研讨会。ARW的目的是在以下领域交流信息和鼓励新的研究：学术与产业研发对接的组织创新；区域、新兴工业化和后社会主义背景下的科学和产业政策交叉点；以及为比较研究开发可广泛使用的数据库。这次研讨会汇集了来自世界各地的研究人员，其价值在于让大量现有的研究成果和知识引起学术与产业研究关系领域最杰出的研究人员的注意，揭示了将他们的努力结合在一起的可能性。通过基于经验的调查和结构化的、基于理论的研究研究，关于创新是如何发生的，以及知识是如何在学术和行业研究互动中传播的，人们已经知道了很多。然而，这一知识体系尚未被组织起来，并在可行的情况下，以使S&T社区能够广泛和容易地获取的方式进行编码，以便实施和进一步研究。给美国带来的好处将是获得关于大学-产业合作伙伴关系的竞争和不同方法的知识。

This award was made to support the foreign travel costs of eight U.S.resarchers to attend a NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) in Acquafredda, Italy. The topic of the workshop is "Academic-Industry Relations." The P.I., Dr. Henry Etzkowitz, is responsible for organizing attendance at and participation in the workshop by top American researchers in this field. The aims of the ARW are to exchange information and stimulate new research in the areas of: organizational innovations in academic-industry R&D alignments; science and industrial policy intersections in regional, newly industrializing, and post-socialist contexts; and development of broadly accesible data bases for comparative research. The value of the workshop, which brings together researchers from all around the world, is to bring a large body of existing research results and knowledge to the attention of the most pre-eminent investigators in the field of academic- industry research relations, revealing the possibilities for combining their efforts synergistically. A great deal is already known, through experientially-based surveys and through structured, theory-based research studies, about how innovation occurs and knowledge is transmitted in academic-industry research interactions. However, this body of knowledge has yet to be organized and, to the extent feasible, codified in ways that would make it widely and easily accessible to the S&T community, both for implementation and further research. Benefits to the U.S. will be in the form of gaining knowledge of competing, and different, approaches to university-industry partnerships.
