We have created this new forum because many researchers and academics asked us for a spot which would not be too commercialized and/or technical.

I invite you to use this forum so that your R&D fellows and also industry can see what happens at University Departments and Research Organisations. Industry must also know where to turn to for consulting and engineering work, and must have a means to find out where the leaders are.

I also invite a Moderator for this forum and ask interested persons to get in touch with me.

I do hope for much activity, the platform is here, and it is really worldwide, and very strongly visited.
