英国上院科学技术委员会提出了若干振兴英国工业的措施,其中心内容之一就是加强大学科学家与工业界的联系,包括任命大专院校研究人员担任公司董事会成员。上院议员们对高等教育机构和研究理事会下属的实验室为加快向工业界的技术转让而采取的行动表示欢迎,但他们认为政府机构资助的实验室的技术转让工作一直令人十分失望。 The British Academy of Science and Technology proposed a number of measures to rejuvenate the British industry. One of its focuses was to strengthen the connection between university scientists and industry, including appointing junior and senior researchers as members of the company's board of directors. Members of the upper house welcomed the actions taken by laboratories affiliated to higher education institutes and research councils to speed up technology transfer to the industry, but they considered the transfer of technology in laboratories funded by government agencies consistently disappointing.
