Extract
Universities should be able to do two things which industry may not be able to do, and which should be valuable. We are supposed to be able to have time to think instead of continuously meeting deadlines (this is hardly true anymore) and so we can:
1. Take a risk and embark on a novel idea which may not come off. If the gamble works then we publish and promote it for the general good.
2. Recognise that industry has to meet deadlines, and often produce an answer to a problem which is only partially understood. We can then look at the problem in depth, and with better understanding point the way to future development.
