Cooperative programming, Industrial

The auto industry has estabbshed a cooperative program in the field, the Vehicle Recycling Partnership (VRP). In addition, some auto manufacturers have announced specific projects that include recycled mbber. Chrysler has announced that it is already using a mbber shield that incorporates cmmb mbber derived from scrap tires. Auto manufacturing companies have indicated a desire to expand the use of recycled post-consumer scrap mbber in their products. 

The results of this examination of the PMN requirements of TSCA has prompted EPA to launch a wide-ranging program to reduce the regulatory burden imposed on industry by this provision of the law and, concurrently, in cooperation with industry, to educate the small business segment with respect to the goals and requirements of TSCA. 

This work was part of a M.S. thesis by one of the authors in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, in 1979. It was supported in part by a National Science Foundation grant NSF-ENG 76-17181 in connection with the US/USSR cooperative program in Industrial Microbiology. 

The question of data quality has not been solved, either by government or industry. CMA has recognized the importance of developing data quality indicators and has begun a cooperative program with government, academe and industry to accomplish this goal.

Two technical executives of Danish firms argue that because the political and social unrest of the sixties disrupted what ties there were between industry and academia, a dialogue should be Initiated to explore cooperative R D activities. Differences between the U.S. and European traditions relating to university-industry relationships are described (these are less developed In Europe). In addition, much of the post-war expansion of public funding for research resulted in the creation of a number of national research institutes which neither possessed a graduate program nor cooperated with industrial sectors. 

Several individuals expressed reservations about university-industry cooperative programs—they were worried about unanticipated effects upon universities ("a potential... 

In this paper, I will address two different perspectives on government-university-industry relationships. The first is collaboration on matters of policy through the operations of the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable. I will describe the purposes, essential features, and accomplishments of the Roundtable. The second is programmatic collaboration in research and education. Here I will present the principal observations on university-industry cooperative programs that have emerged from several Roundtable activities on this topic. ... 

Industry-university cooperative programs are a continuing series of experiments characterized by a great deal of variety and diversity in form, content, and objectives.

Some data has been recently generated on the actual effect of oxygenates on tailpipe emissions as part of a cooperative program between the petroleum and automotive industries (AQIRP, 1990). In this program, the effect of the inclusion of 15% MTBE was measured along with an assessment of the impact of other fuel composition variables. In Table 4, the MTBE results are shown for the two test fleets employed. One of these fleets consisted of 10 different 1989 vehicle models and the other 7 models of 1983 to 1985 vintage. 

Focus on the academlc/lndustrlal interface has led to initiatives such as the National Science Foundation s program to create Centers for Engineering Research. This latest NSF initiative emphasizes multi-investigator, inter-disciplinary research that is more problem-oriented than discipline-oriented (Schmitt, 1985). The program is intended to foster cooperation between industry and academia and increase the rates of commercialization of technologies spawned in the university environments (Coulton, 1986). Under the program, an NSF grant funds establishment of each center. The university involved then seeks to establish a... 

The 142nd Committee on Organic Materials Used in Information Science and Industry of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) was established in November 1974. This committee has actively continued its research activities since then and now has entered its eighth research term (one term lasts 5 years). Meanwhile, the liquid crystal display (LCD) has been a wonderful achievement. When the committee was estabhshed, no one anticipated that the LCD could contribute so much to today s industrial field. In the transition of research and development during the early period, there was a growing oppoitunity that it would go beyond the contribution of this committee, which would become part of the history of the development of the LCD. The Technical Tradition Project arose accidentally from the University-Industry Research Cooperation Program (UICR) in JSPS. Fortunately, the project was adopted and was tentatively titled Liquid Crystal— Past, Present, and Future . 

Installation was approved as a University-Industry Research Cooperation Program of JSPS, and the 142nd Committee on Organic Materials Used in Information Science and Industry was established in November 1974 for the purpose of research and development of organic materials supporting information science and technology. The membership of this committee has been limited to professors and senior research scientists from the industrial, administrative, and academic sectors.
