在美国国家科学院倡导的政府—大学—工业界圆桌会议的启发下,英国也搞起了一个类似的大规模活动,即举行英国科学技术圆桌会议。这个会议的目标是增进英国的科学和工程研究的活力,以帮助它对付它所面临的种种问题,如英国大学毕业生的情况的变化以及全球市场的转移等等。 Inspired by the government-university-industry roundtable advocated by the US National Academy of Sciences, the United Kingdom also launched a similar large-scale event that held the UK Science and Technology Roundtable. The goal of this conference is to enhance the vitality of science and engineering research in the UK to help it deal with the problems it faces, such as changes in the situation of UK university graduates and the shift in global markets.
