From M. J. C. MARTIN
Perhaps I may make two brief suggestions.
First, recognise that newly recruited research scientists require continuing
personal development programmes which regularly update their management
as well as scientific knowledge and skills, possibly integrated into a well-designed
and maintained dual-ladder system, to provide them with satisfying and productive
careers as researchers or managers.
Second, join the Jupiter Consortium (telephone number: 081 977 9033).
This is a non-profit consortium of academics, industry and government people
dedicated to the task of improving research and technology management in
Britain, with links to similar consortia on the Continent and in North
America.
