DESCRIPTION:* Do you know how (some) academic research is seen by (some) i
 ndustrial sectors and companies?  \n* How do they think of academia?  \n* 
 What do they look for?  \n* How do they choose whom to work with?  \n* How
  do they choose what topics and projects to work on? \n* What drives their
  attitude to IP and publishing?  \n* Why do they behave so strangely (for 
 example\, endless delays and then they want the answer immediately)?  \n* 
 Why do they sometimes seem to drift off-topic and ask about unrelated thin
 gs?\n\nIn this panel session three people with an industrial perspective o
 n research will discuss the questions above – and respond to questions p
 osed by the audience:\n\n*Anna-Marie Greenaway*\, VP Science and Technolog
