Global Innovation and National Interests
Working Group Participants
Members of the International Working Group have been invited to participate in the project on Global Innovation and National Interests as individuals, not as representatives of their institutions. Current institutional affiliations of members who have accepted the invitation are listed here solely for identification purposes.
The project on Global Innovation and National Interests is focused on developing and disseminating a set of policy and management recommendations for global R&D leadership in universities, companies, and governments. The contributions of the Working Group, coordinated by BRG Institute staff, are critical to this effort. Policy conclusions and recommendations published and disseminated by the project are, however, entirely the responsibility of named authors of the each publication. Members of the Working Group are not, individually or collectively, responsible for the content of the publications and outreach resulting from the project.
