The organizing theme for this Workshop is: "Strengthening the Nation's Competitiveness through Stronger University-Industry-Government Engagement". This grant provides funding to host a workshop on the planning for, execution of, and reporting on an outcomes-oriented workshop designed to evaluate the current government-university-industry research, development, and commercialization engagement model and identify new approaches worthy of consideration and testing. Leaders in the public and private sectors have long recognized that strategic Industry/University (I/U) research collaborations are critical to advancing a nation's commercialization portfolio, and its overall economic competitiveness and well-being. While few challenge this hypothesis that the idea-to-innovation process is bolstered by healthy university-industry relations, the type of strategic and high value collaborations are often difficult to implement. To achieve its objectives, the Workshop will be structured around: a pre-event survey that captures issues to be addressed; presentation on the topics and findings/materials from the October 2012 GUIRR/UIDP Workshop; examinations of what role federal agencies and NSF specifically play; regional efforts meant to spur collaboration; identification of on-going and proposed pilots/demonstrations; and building new models. The Workshop will bring together a strategic set of thought leaders who have the ability to affect change in their organizations and undertake pilots, demonstrations and experiments that can impact the way that companies and universities (in conjunction with government) act. Many of the invitees will have experience implementing bold approaches and providing a neutral environment for conversations will bolster efforts to dispassionately consider these pilots and propose new ones. The National Academies has been a critical player in examining issues affecting university-industry collaborations. Through its Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable, The National Academies regularly has convened thought leaders from academia, corporate, government and the non-profit sectors to examine these issues and created the University-Industry Demonstration Partnership to provide an incubator for addressing matters affecting high value, high return collaborations between the sectors. Using the National Academies GUIRR and UIDP programs provides a high visibility platform for launching national experiments to advance co-creation among the three sectors.

本次研讨会的组织主题是：“通过加强大学、工业和政府的参与来增强国家的竞争力”。 这笔赠款提供资金主办一个研讨会，讨论以结果为导向的研讨会的规划、执行和报告，该研讨会旨在评估当前的政府-大学-行业研究、开发和商业化参与模式，并确定值得考虑和实施的新方法。测试。 公共和私营部门的领导者早已认识到，战略性工业/大学 (I/U) 研究合作对于推进国家商业化组合及其整体经济竞争力和福祉至关重要。 虽然很少有人质疑这一假设，即健康的大学与产业关系促进了想法到创新的过程，但战略和高价值合作的类型往往难以实施。 为了实现其目标，研讨会将围绕以下内容进行组织： 活动前调查，以捕获要解决的问题； 介绍 2012 年 10 月 GUIRR/UIDP 研讨会的主题和调查结果/材料；检查联邦机构和 NSF 具体发挥的作用；旨在促进合作的区域努力；确定正在进行的和拟议的试点/示范；并建立新模型。该研讨会将汇集一批战略思想领袖，他们有能力影响其组织的变革，并进行可以影响公司和大学（与政府）行为方式的试点、示范和实验。 许多受邀者将拥有实施大胆方法的经验，并提供中立的对话环境，这将有助于冷静地考虑这些试点并提出新的试点。 美国国家科学院在研究影响大学与产业合作的问题方面一直发挥着关键作用。 通过政府-大学-行业研究圆桌会议，美国国家科学院定期召集来自学术界、企业、政府和非营利部门的思想领袖来研究这些问题，并创建大学-行业示范合作伙伴关系，为解决影响问题的问题提供一个孵化器。部门之间的高价值、高回报合作。 使用国家科学院 GUIRR 和 UIDP 项目为启动国家实验提供了一个高知名度的平台，以促进三个部门之间的共同创造。
