Professor Daniel Weihs:
This study — a technometric study of comparative advantage in selected high-technology industries in Israel – was funded by the German-Israel Foundation. Its director, Dr. Amnon Barak, will attend this symposium.
This project is a good example of the kind of research that the GIF can and should support. It resulted in a fruitful, direct contact between two working groups and hopefully, as far as I understand from the researchers, may ultimately generate as many as ten published papers.
Lecturer: Dr. Hariolf L. Grupp. His topic is: From Basis Research to Knowledge-Based Exports: An Integrated System of Quantitative Indicators for the Technological Innovation Process.
