. Technology transfer, computational and mathematical modeling, and education have an importance to economic competitiveness that is very large relative to the recognition given to these activities by the academic mathematical sciences community.

This report proposes a similar effort to stimulate increased interaction between universities and industry. Federally funded science and technology centers aIrea(ly have a mandate for technology transfer.

The board proposes that the mathematical professional societies include technology transfer within their mission en cl encourage, through workshops; minisymposia, and plenary lectures, more interaction among mathematicians in industry, universities, and government laboratories. Special conferences on theoretical areas of mathematics could include the industrial

boards of professional journals. Much of this framework is in place already, but the evident need to improve on the rate and calibre of technology transfer implies that increased attention to these issues is imperative.
