The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable was organized in 1984. Its purpose is to create a national forum to air the issues that affect the nation's research enterprise, inject imaginative thought into understanding the issues, and explore strategies and options for improving the future of US scientific research. In 1987, the Roundtable Council inaugurated a comprehensive review of the US academic research enterprise. The Council assigned this review to a Working Group of government officials, corporate executives, university administrators, and scientists. The charge to the Working Group was to examine current trends in the US academic research enterprise, predict the impact of the trends on the future of the enterprise, and explore options for the future. To gain an international perspective on the issues addressed by the Working Group, the Research Roundtable and the National Science Foundation co-sponsored a symposium held on March 23, 1989, at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC. The purposes of the symposium were to: compare the histories of the larger national research systems -- the United States, Japan, the Soviet Union, Great Britain, Germany, and France -- with special emphasis on university research; examine the current pressures placed on the research system of each nation; and explore how each nation is responding to these pressures. 154 refs., 8 tabs.
