This report identifies technical hurdles and opportunities and discusses the role that government and academia can play in overcoming the nontechnical barriers to successful research, development, and transfer of these technologies to the ocean science community. Major conclusions and recommendations, discussed in detail at the end of this report, fall into two major categories, the role of the federal government and the role of academic scientists. Achievement of the recommendations will require cooperative activities between the federal government, industry, and academia (NRC, 1992).

HTS is no longer limited to industrial settings and is starting to play an increasingly important role in academic research.112,113 With the new National Institutes of Health (NIH) initiatives in the USA to support a number of screening Molecular Libraries Probe Production Center Network (MLPCN) centres (http //ncgc.nih.gov/index.html) for academic research, it can be expected that the mutual impact of HTS and basic biology will increase. 

The significance of university research was further expanded in a third episode, but again in a different way than earlier. While the value of university trained students for teaching and industry had been the issue of the first sets of debates, it was the more direct fruits of academic research that were claimed to be crucial for society now. Also, this time, the discussions were not confined to chemists alone, but all scientists (and industrialists) played a role. The impulse for these developments was once more provided by World War I.

The study of pharmaceutical co-crystals is also a re-emerging and exciting field of academic research in the context of crystal engineering and rational design of molecular assemblies. Most, if not all, fundamental aspects have been reviewed in this book, from the role of weak interactions in co-crystals to mechanochemical methods of synthesis, including insights into solubility and thermodynamic stability or phase diagrams of co-crystals. 

It is probably true to say that the efforts of four academic research groups (led by Phihp Stephens, Larry Nalie, Tim Keiderling, and Prasad Polavarapu) have led to most of the seminal developments of VCD instrumentation. In particular, the work of Larry Nafie, along with his colleagues Teresa Freedman and Rina Dukor, has taken VCD from what 10 years ago may have seemed to others to be a rather arcane field of academic research to the point that it now can be forecast to play a vital role in pharmaceutical and biochemical analysis. 

In Australia, at present there are few effective traffic safety advocates. Who might facilitate the creation of a constituency, a constituency that demands a new approach It clearly will not be the government Nor can the front line come from the bulk of traffic safety professionals, as they are anployed by the government. The role of academics is moot, as most depend on funds from the government transport institutions for their research nevertheless, we must seek better links between the ivory towers and the corridors of power.

In the electronics industry, a large number of relatively small firms play a key role in generating new process concepts and equipment. These firms face important research problems in fundamental science and engineering that would benefit markedly from the insights of academic chemical engineering researchers. Academic researchers should seek out and forge links to these small firms that stand at the crucial step between laboratory research and production processes. Potential mechanisms for accomplishing this are described in Chapter 10.

With the emergence of SWE as an alternative to SFE opportunities exist for combining derivatisation reactions with aqueous extractions. Although extractions using superheated and supercritical water yield pleasing results, many instrumental problems will have to be overcome before this technique is ready to leave the (academic) research laboratories [77]. This approach might play a significant role in future analytical extractions.

Financial considerations were not the only factor influencing job decisions. Some interviewees indicated that their job decisions were based on interpersonal relationships and the culture or climate of the employing organization. Sometimes academic advisors played key roles in these decisions. One Cohort III interviewee remarked My Ph.D. advisor was a good friend of the Research Director...
