摘要:

AbstractThe so-called ‘linear model’ of science translating into technology which provides the impetus for social and economic progress is incomplete. An interactive model takes into account that the relationship between science, technology and society is not uni-directional. The conclusion is that social science is an integral, not merely a marginal, activity in understanding the process whereby scientific excellence and technological innovation may lead to economic and social well-being. There remain formidable obstacles to achieving this integration.

摘要:

AbstractThis presents a detailed statistical analysis of international collaboration between Canada and European Community countries. It uses data on internationally co-authored articles derived from the Science Citation Index. It describes how collaboration between Canada and its European partners progressed and the increasing internationalization in their scientific activities between 1981 and 1986. An overview of patterns of collaboration in eight major fields in different European countries is given. Collaboration with Canada is viewed from each side, and by fields.A major finding is that Canada's research collaboration with the EC is highly concentrated in three countries—France, West Germany and, especially, Britain. Mathematics proved to be one of the privileged fields in collaboration in Canada. Factors which enhance collaboration between countries are analyzed, and an attempt made to forecast trends between Canada and EC countries.

摘要:

AbstractA survey was conducted to determine the extent of the usage of Information Technology in Cyprus. It was found that the level of awareness of its users was low, and generally restricted to routine business administration junctions especially accounting. In order to bridge the gap between current and potential usage, awareness must be increased, skills and expertise enhanced, telecommunications infrastructure expanded and regional markets explored.

摘要:

AbstractThe Brazilian government has long been determined to create an internationally competitive aeronautical industry. The Air Ministry set up a scientific and technological centre to develop and sustain its own aeronautical activities. With substantial investments from the government and various mechanisms of transfer and creation of technology, the Brazilian Aeronautical Industry has a successful state-owned company (Embraer) with an international reputation and the capability to develop its own projects.

摘要:

AbstractHistorically the university has been an élitist organization. During this century there have been moves to make the education available to all social classes. In Finland, a regional policy was adopted which decentralized and expanded the university system. Now the trend is towards giving greater priority to basic research and improving its quality: regional policy should be geared to locally-relevant issues rather than those perceived as important from a central perspective.
