Debate: How can we collaborate to raise impact?
At 51³Ô¹ÏÍø there is little doubt we have front rank researchers and we’re out there doing things on the final frontier. However, space is also a government-identified economic area with good growth potential. How does the “publish or perish” world of an aspiring academic fit with applying their innovative skills to help economic growth? 51³Ô¹ÏÍø is host to talents which should be harnessed and collaboration looks the way to do it. But what is needed?
