motto | |
It has long been thought that scientific principles, elaborated in universities and engineering schools, contribute to industrial progress as they are converted into engineering applications. Some suggest however that scientists and university engineers do little more than encode the principles of existing applications (innovations). Others argue, in fact, that the university environment is not creative enough to support truly innovative discovery. Hence new business ideas should be sought in experimental environments, where actors hav to be innovative to survive. | |
