As for the most active role we should develop in the area of research and development, we have proposed that seminars be organised to exchange views on mutual cooperation, exchanges of research staff and the launching of programmes in the area of food technology, biotechnology, energy and, above all, the environment.
This includes cross national exchange of research, policy and practise, regional advocacy networking and global policy development.
Over the last 2 decades, scientists have witnessed the gradual erosion of a cornerstone of scientific progress: the free exchange of research materials like reagents, cells, and animals.
The motivation behind VizIR is the implementation of an open platform for supporting and facilitating research, teaching, the exchange of research results and research cooperation in the field in general.
The initiative comes at a time when contracts governing the exchange of research tools, so-called Materials Transfer Agreements (MTAs), are causing increasing frustration (Science, 10 October 1997, p. 212).
Scientific competitions are becoming more common in many research areas of artificial intelligence and robotics, since they provide a shared testbed for comparing different solutions and enable the exchange of research results.
Based on this new form of publication, we hope that PEPS will become a useful interdisciplinary forum for the widespread and timely exchange of research results with the global community.
The purpose of this Special Section is to increase public awareness of key issues of sustainable development and to stimulate exchange of research results, practical experience and novel ideas among actors involved in investigating, planning and implementing sustainable development.
More intensive exchange of research findings and experiences in the treatment between academic as well as non-academic headache treatment providers may also result in synergisms, better treatment options and higher job satisfaction of the members of the staff in headache centres.
The purpose of this SV is to increase public awareness of key issues of sustainable development and to stimulate exchange of research results, practical experience and new ideas among actors involved in investigating, planning and implementing sustainable development, regarding energy, transport, water, environment and production systems.
This is evident in the various existing organizations that facilitate the exchange of research findings and policy information, e.g., the International Society for Stem Cell Research (www.isscr.org), the International Stem Cell Forum (www.stem-cell-forum.net), and the International Consortium of Stem Cell Networks (www.stemcellconsortium.org).org
