How can institutes contribute to several sector initiatives at once without losing their original focus?
Institutes will continue to develop in their own fields of expertise and competencies. They will apply these competencies to one or more of the NRC strategy elements, including key sectors, within the limitations of their resources. However, extending their expertise to other areas will become inevitable as new technologies become more and more complex and require multidisciplinary input. Institutes should engage in “multiple” key sector strategies for which their technologies are applicable – either on their own, or in combination with technologies/expertise being developed in other institutes – in effect enabling individual institutes to have greater impact.
