- Many in the research community are aware of faults in all
areas of research policy making; but most acutely so when dealing
with the management of the most delicate resource applied to
research, which is manpower, or rather trained brainpower. It
was the objective of the Association of Researchers in Medicine
and Science in mounting this Symposium to provide an opportunity
for the parties involved in research policy-making, particularly
as applied to the training and subsequent utilisation of researchers,
to express their viewpoints and to hear the views of others.
-
- The meeting was structured in three parts. The first allowed
researchers and their managers to present views about the organization
and effectiveness of academic research. The second part allowed
representatives of organizations which, directly or indirectly,
employ or utilise researchers or supply the money for research,
to outline their problems. Finally, there was a summing up and
extensive discussions.
-
- The full texts of the papers delivered at the Symposium by
a number of distinguished speakers, and of the discussions which
followed these papers, are available in this book - which is
a key point of reference for future discussions on the role of,
and prospects for, academic research.
