To maintain quality in research output, providing the necessary new
knowledge for our developing industries must be of prime importance
to our community. This is an extremely difficult task when viewed
in the context ofthe rapid rate of change being experienced within
our national industrial scene. Collaborative research programmes
designed to constantly monitor and improve the quality of output,
through regular reporting and assessment of achieved goals against
defined targets, can help the growth of our industry and benefit
the rest of society. The government has established initiatives to
encourage collaboration and the transfer of technology between the
research and development domains. There are many signs that
industry and the universities are making a concerted effort to
adapt their working practices and relationships to meet the rapidly
changing industrial environment. There are still many shortfalls
and areas for improvement. Some of the extremes of government
educational policy can, and will, seriously impair the evolution
of, and benefits gained from, the collabo ration initiatives. These
must be resisted by academe and industry alike if we are to make
new advances against foreign competition. Joint R. and D. projects
do work, and can be made to work. To achieve the steady growth of
healthy and fruitful relationships they must, however, be given a
good environment and a nourishing diet. REFERENCES 1. Alvey
