Community collaborations, research

The total 5-year investment in the materials chemistry programs (MC and MCCP) was more than 18 million. That number might be considered modest, but MC-MCCP accomplished two things (1) it initiated about 60 collaborative research projects in the chemistry research community, where individualism was the overwhelming norm and (2) it established within NSF a paradigm for interdivisional cooperation in the review and funding of interdisciplinary research. 

This level of support needs to be greatly expanded and jointly funded by F.D.A., National Marine Fisheries, and the N.I.H. Every opportunity to collaborate and communicate with researchers in other countries should continue to be encouraged.

Perhaps the most pertinent insight that is conveyed by this survey is the extent of the carbon world. As noted in the introduction, it reaches into virtually all branches of science and engineering and involves many other disciplines. It sends a message to what has traditionally been a rather small community of researchers that, eollectively and individually, we must strive and reach out in our interactions and collaborations to help to translate the positive aspects of carbon science into new technologies. 

Conclusion There are so many hurdles associated invariably with the photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction process which must be rectified in order to create an energy, sustainable society using direct sunlight as a primary energy source just as plants do. It could happen only by the collaborative research effort from various groups, irrespective of the implicit bias among the scientific community. 

The programme of the FP5 Key Action on Water was based on a broad consultation with the stakeholders to define action plans for EU collaborative research, and was intended to promote an increased participation of technology providers and end user communities. 

The focus of that comment is cooperative efforts and most recent reports of task forces or study groups on relations between the industrial and academic communities have concentrated their attention on cooperative research activities the more bold have recommended jolnt/collaborative research ventures and several spectacular examples of such new arrangements might be cited. 

In-House Collaboration. Many of the industry interviewees noted that the problem of bridging between research ideas and product development that occurs in industry-university collaborative research is also present within a company the same break downs in communication and understanding can occur. Some interviewees stated that the research divisions of their firms even view themselves as part of the academic system. 

One of the problems with such collaboration, is that within national scientific communities there are many who have a rather bigoted view on what constitiutes a sustainable landfill, i.e. they define the sustainable landfill in tenns of design and operational procedures, and irrespective of local circumstances regard a particular approach (e.g. bioreactor or pre-treatment) as the only way forward. There will be circumstances under which the bioreactor approach will be most appropriate, and those under which pre-treatment is more sustainable a risk assessment for a proposed development would determine the method of choice. The aim of international collaborative research should be to determine optimum conditions for each method, and to be able to provide data that would allow effective risk assessment to be undertaken. 

Ever since the seminal work by Hofstede (1983 and 2005) there has been increasing research directed at the values and beliefs that differentiate cultures and their importance for organizational behaviour, communication, collaboration, expatriation and so on. Hofstede (2005) identified 5 major factors that... 

Nonprofit Organizations. The Florida Heart Research Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to stopping heart disease through research, education, and prevention. It facilitates collaborative research nationally and offers free community services locally.
