Walking into Slavery with Open Eyes: The Descent of “Science”

主讲人：张东柯

澳大利亚技术科学与工程院院士、西澳大学教授

报告方式：中英文互动

摘  要：The very morality of our science is at risk when science becomes ever increasingly institutionalised, when science administrators become ever increasingly obsessed with the quantitative measurement of scientific output, when political leaders and the public dismiss, disregard or fail to understand science, and when many “scientists” manipulate science for political correctness to please government and bureaucracy for funding, supremacy or control. The speaker will share and discuss his provocative theses and antitheses on academia – industry interactions and collaboration, based on his analysis of the historical evolution of the university, science, engineering and technological science, and illustrated by his own successful and unsuccessful experiences in R&D and in interacting with business. He believes knowledge belongs to society and technology belongs to the industry.
