Promoting innovation — the role of the industrial liaison service

Abstract

Furtherance of technological progress is seriously hampered by restricted communication between research establishments and industry. In order to deal with the current ‘information explosion’, the then DSIR set up an industrial liaison service in 1957. Mr Arnfield demonstrates the working of the service, and the role of the industrial liaison officer, while posing vital questions on the future expansion of this scheme.
