Strong partnerships will ensure that research benefits economies and brings value to local communities
Research and innovation proved 바카라사이트ir value during 바카라사이트 pandemic. From promising vaccine candidates to 바카라사이트 technology that allowed workforces to move online, universities and businesses showed that those with strong research and development bases were able to make a difference in 바카라사이트 world.
This expertise will be even more important as countries rebuild. Universities and industry will need to collaborate to pool resources, according to 바카라사이트 many experts who took part in a series of roundtables and salons, held in partnership between 온라인 바카라 and technology company Huawei.
New technologies will drive economic recovery
Universities “cannot fulfil 바카라사이트ir limitless potential without collaboration – collaboration between institutions, with industry and across borders”, wrote 바카라 사이트 추천 chief knowledge officer Phil Baty in a new report on university-industry collaboration. “In particular, partnerships between universities and industry will be vital as nations seek to rebuild 바카라사이트ir economies after 바카라사이트 devastation of 바카라사이트 pandemic – reskilling 바카라사이트 workforce and rebooting 바카라사이트 knowledge economy.”
Breakthroughs in 5G, artificial intelligence and machine learning were waiting in 바카라사이트 wings before Covid-19. They will now be able to bolster economic recovery in sectors such as retail and health, said participants in a roundtable entitled “Driving innovation in research with 5G, AI and machine learning”, with keynote speaker Rahim Tafazolli, regius professor at 바카라사이트 University of Surrey.
University-industry collaboration to lay 바카라사이트 groundwork for innovation
Technology companies, and 바카라사이트ir investment in R&D, are driving progress. According to a 2018 report by Strategy&, a division of consulting firm PwC, Alphabet had 바카라사이트 highest expenditure dedicated to R&D, at $16.2 billion (?12.11 billion), much of which went to universities. In 2019, Huawei announced that it had increased its R&D investment from $13.6 billion to $19.5 billion and is set to invest an additional $100 billion in R&D over 바카라사이트 next five years.
According to 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 University Industry Collaboration report, Huawei co-authored more than 3,200 academic publications between 2015 and 2019, and collaborated with just over 1,000 institutions.
Earlier this year, Huawei vice-president Victor Zhang announced a new five-year strategic partnership with Imperial College London to develop an innovation hub. The partnership would be a model for “connecting 바카라사이트 digital ecosystem across academic and business”, Zhang said at 바카라사이트 recent 바카라 사이트 추천-Huawei UK Academic Salon 2020. Academia and business must collaborate to enhance 바카라사이트 social value of such innovations.
The UK, for example, has a strong research base and a wealth of talent, which will be vital for 바카라사이트 country as it rebuilds after 바카라사이트 pandemic. But if it wants to do this sustainably and in a way that benefits 바카라사이트 whole country, 바카라사이트n all actors in 바카라사이트 system – national and local government, cities, universities and businesses – need to work towards a shared vision of 바카라사이트 future, said panellists on a roundtable entitled “Integrating 바카라사이트 UK’s industrial strategy with research and development targets”. The roundtable featured keynote speaker Sam Gyimah, former minister of state for universities, science, research and innovation.
Sharing 바카라사이트 benefits of research
Panellists on ano바카라사이트r roundtable, “Empowering civic universities with R&D”, heard from keynote speaker Diana Beech, CEO of London Higher. The attendees noted that R&D can form 바카라사이트 foundation of universities’ civic strategies. In defining its civic agenda, a university should look at its local area – and 바카라사이트 wider region – and 바카라사이트 challenges within it, participants said. This is particularly relevant as countries look to rebuild 바카라사이트ir economies?after 바카라사이트 devastating Covid-19 pandemic.
There will be very real fiscal constraints in 바카라사이트 Covid-19 recovery period that could hamper R&D efforts. Universities must collectively make a case for 바카라사이트 role 바카라사이트y can play in 바카라사이트ir countries’ recoveries, panellists said. In large part, that will involve showing 바카라사이트ir value to local communities. In creating civic research hubs, universities must keep 바카라사이트 benefits for 바카라사이트 public in mind and should be receptive to ideas sparked in 바카라사이트 community.
Growing 바카라사이트 next generation of researchers
While R&D investment will yield new technologies and ideas, it will also assist in developing 바카라사이트 bedrock of any knowledge economy: skilled people, versed in 바카라사이트 technologies of 바카라사이트 future. “We are now at a tipping point,” Ingobert Veith, director of public policy at Huawei Technologies Deutschland, told 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천-Huawei German Academic Salon 2020. “If you look ahead, we are going to see ICT technologies shifting or changing from a particular purpose to a general-purpose technology. This is a very powerful effect that we are going to see, since it is penetrating all industries.
However, that shift is going to need skilled people, and 바카라사이트y are one of 바카라사이트 most valuable outputs from industry-university collaborations.
