E. Is a Triple Helix Emerging in Agriculture? Comparative Country Perspectives -- panel presentations
The nature of government policy and involvement of universities in the domain of agriculture has always been nationally specific. In this panel, we compare different countries in the way the relations between university and industry are organized with respect to agricultural research and development. Is the triple helix a viable organisational structure in agricultural sector? To which extent are problems and arrangements country-specific? Do special areas as biotechnology and sustainable technology development require specific arrangements because of thier long-run impact?
Organized by Koen Frenken, National Institute of Agricultural Research, Unit Sociology and Economics of R&D, Grenoble, France.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER: TOO MANY OPTIONS
Dr. Randolph J. Guschl, Director, Corporate Technology Transfer, DuPont Central Research & Development, Corporate New Business Development
Joint industry/university/government research is an increasingly common form of conducting both basic and applied research. In DuPont, our expenditures to external technology sources increased from $20MM in 1993 to over $45MM in 1995 and we have many documented success stories of how we were able to meet a business need faster, cheaper and with a better technology because of our leveraged activities with external global technology sources. There are still many concerns, but the challenge is to make good deals which address the classic issues of intellectual property rights, publication, secrecy, academic nepotism, etc., right up front and not always live the old model of doing everything ourselves because we can't deal with these concerns. In today's world, each business needs to find the right balance of internal and external technology resources and be proactive in obtaining value from the technology they develop.
Chair: Herbert Fusfield, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA

A. ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE: NEW PLAYERS IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The panelists will discuss Innovative ways in which universities are becoming players in state economic development initiatives and accelerating the dissemination of University technologies. It will present specific examples of university/company partnerships and how they have worked. Finally, the panel will review the benefits gained by the participants and the constraints that still need to be overcome include issues such as – what is in it for the faculty member; safeguarding academic integrity, and the appropriateness technology transfer as a money maker etc.. The panel includes American university administrators, a director of research at a major US company and the General Counsel of a medium size US company.

A. University Research Partnerships with Industry and Government: Overcoming Barriers and Enhancing Opportunities
Because of intense competition for limited government funding of research, universities have turned increasingly to industry for support of their research programs. Simultaneously, industry's desires to maintain a research base during a period where many have downsized their internal research operations has provided additional opportunity for universities to partner with them. In this process of partnering, adjustments have had to be made by both universities and sponsoring companies in order to reach a balance between protecting the traditional openness characteristic of university research and graduate training and protecting the proprietary interests of industry. Discussed first in this panel session will be the identification of major barriers to university-industry partnerships and examples of approaches to overcoming those barriers. This will be followed by descriptions of highly successful regional models of university-industry partnerships.

A. The Virtual University:
Collaborative Partnerships at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications
Consortium
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications recently won one of two national supercomputing center awards. The Center involves more than 200 collaborating institutions and effectively operates as a distributed research laboratory. As the leading-edge site for the National Computational Science Alliance, it is dedicated to prototyping the country's most powerful information and computing environment to facilitate the advancement of science and engineering. The panelists will describe how such a partnership is coordinated, describe examples of leading edge research that is done in a virtual research environment and discuss how such developments will affect the research universities futures.

NATIONAL APPROACHES TO FUNDING R&D
Different national entities use different funding mechanisms to support and encourage research and development: contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, loans, direct and indirect funding, etc., each having an impact on the type, nature, and character of research being conducted. These different approaches to funding also set up different incentive structures, and they have an impact on the ability of the government to measure performance. This panel will explore the different approaches to funding R&D in Japan, Europe, and North America, with a view towards identifying the impact of types of funding mechanisms on planning and outcomes. Also explored will be the impact of funding mechanisms on international cooperation in R&D.

A. THE CHANGING ROLE OF THE STATE: THE FRENCH INNOVATION SYSTEM
It is a tradition to view the French S&T system as both publicly driven and highly centralized. This view might have been relevant 20 years ago. But the eighties have witnessed a series of important changes which the session will examin.
Contrary to many countries (especially UK) the eighties have been a period of increase of public spending for research, easing transformations. The rapid increase in research capabilities, the explosion of young trained researchers has gone along with major shifts in national priorities
These shifts are now all the more visible because of growing budget pressures. The S&T budget has thus remained at a plateau for the last five years which rendered these choices progressively more visible to the point which sees now institutional reforms being considered. The embedding since 1995 of research in a ministry of education is a strong symbol of this shift in emphasis.

A. Mapping the Emerging Government-University-Industry Nexus:
international strategic research and technology partnerships
-- panel presentations
Fifty years after the Vannevar Bush report "Science: The Endless Frontier" was released, it is more critical than ever to re-evaluate the challenges and opportunities facing the US science and technology enteprise from both a domestic and a global perspective. This panel is designed to provide an eclectic mix of US and European government, university, and industry research and technology managers and practitioners. They will help synthesize diverse perspectives of the emerging fabric of the 21st century collaborative R&D policies and practices across the international GUI spectrum.
The panel focus will be on such issues as:
