Help us choose a theme for the 2010 Better World Report

1) quality of life

2) regional economic development

The committee believes these themes will allow a wide rangeof technologies and institutions to be represented, while staying true to the Better World Report’s mission: to promote how academic research and technology transfer benefits millions of people, contributes to a stronger economy, supports new research and encourages tomorrow’s breakthroughs.

With its long shelf life, high visibility and far-reaching impact, the Better World Report is one of the association’s signature publications. We need your help in making the 2010 edition the best it can be – so let us know what you think of the themes. We welcome your feedback.

I would favour the improvement of the quality of life as this years theme. I think regional economic development is too difficult to adequately demonstrate in a concrete way especially to politicians who are only interested in results in the next four years after their election.
