DESCRIPTION:How does research make its way into the world? Are investment 
 and public policy understandings of education\, knowledge transfer and com
 mercialisation the most appropriate for societies and economies of the 21s
 t century? \n\nThe notion of "design"\, as a style of intellectual engagem
 ent\, offers many challenges to the traditional university. This event inv
 estigates these challenges from the perspective of two speakers who have r
 egularly crossed the boundaries between research and design\, one addressi
 ng the question from a perspective of applied social sciences\, and the ot
 her providing a response from a technological perspective particularly cha
 racteristic of Cambridge.\n\nDavid Gilmore is Design Research manager at I

 ity Computer Laboratory. In 1985 he founded consulting company APM to mana
 ge an industry-sponsored program of research and development in distribute
