| BRIDGING CULTURES: JAPAN-US AND ACADEME-INDUSTRY. Science and Engineering Council. Collaboration between academia and industry is important for advancing technology. However, there is a universal disconnect between "curiosity-driven" and "profits-driven" research. Another cultural gap is created by different communication styles and ways of thinking in Japan and the USA. To bridge these gaps and achieve common goals, effective communication is needed. Dr. Yoshie will discuss ways to improve communication in trans-Pacific and academic-industrial partnerships. See http://www.scieng.org |
