@ Risk-Science research and development
Posted by: Dr. Jayshree Pandya in Country Risk Review on May 28th, 2009
Science research and development plays a vital role in the progress and success of any nation’s economy. Science research innovation journey (from laboratory to market commercialization) is complex but rewarding for any nation.
While nations commit and spend a significant portion of their GDP on science research and development, there is no guarantee that investment in science R&D trend will continue with the change in nation’s governance. This is a risk of great proportions. How can science research and development be ensured completion without any political interference?
•Should political ideology and change in nation’s governance dictate the investment trend in science research and development?
•Should nations R&D institutions be independent and be allowed to work towards directing investments for the research they seem vital?
•Do you see any critical science research impacted by change in governance within your nation?
With an eye on the future, I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical science R&D risks. Let me know your thoughts.

Need for integration and centralization of public/private science research findings…
Posted by: Dr. Jayshree Pandya in Country Risk Review, Global Risk Review, Industry Risk Review on March 10th, 2009
Progressive research is a blessing to society.
The research challenges nations face in globalizing economies calls for some fundamental common sense in the approach that science takes globally. Science, business and government needs to work hand in hand. Science and business needs are complementary and it is important that they are clearly communicated, goal oriented and constructively met. Integrating, securing, safeguarding and centralizing the research findings of public/private research needs to be a national priority. It is also equally important that there is accountability in science research funding.
This will help in:
1. Avoidance of investments in already solved science research problems
2. Prevent loss in intellectual property due to mismanaged research priorities by both public/private (universities as well as industry)
3. Allow cross industry research /innovation access
4. Meet national and global science goals
What is the state of science within your nation? What are the risks and challenges you see in science research/innovation within your nation?
Let me know your thoughts. Please specify which nation you are addressing.
