DESCRIPTION:Much attention has been paid to the relationship between funda
 mental research and application\, and how to manage that relationship for 
 the sake of growth and progress. \n\nLord Porter\, President of the Royal 
 Society in the late 1980s\, \nwas categorical about the link: "there are t
 wo kinds of research: applied\, and not-yet-applied". In terms of modern i
 nstitutions and processes\, however\, we see tendencies to separate basic 
 from applied research\; and research from innovation. \n\nSir Leszek will 
 explore these factors in the context of the University's mission to contri
 bute to society.
