March 1972
ABSTRACT
Increasingly, the role of University-based research is being considered by the community at large as a rich field of resource to be tapped. It was to promote further integration and cooperation between state agencies and the University’s research units that the conference sponsored by the Center for Science Policy and Technology Assessment and the Office of Research Administration of the University of Hawaii entitled, “From Ideas to Solutions: The Role of Research and Development in Solving Hawaii’s Problems”, was held. Directed at leaders in the private sector and decision-makers in local governments, the conference was concerned with research and development at the University of Hawaii with special emphasis on those projects which can help to solve problems now facing our state and counties. Areas of community concern for future or additional research effort were also discussed. The text and attachments which comprise Water Resources Research Center Technical Memorandum Report No. 35 was presented by its author, L. Stephen Lau, as a member of the panel on “Environment.” The conference was held on March 3, 1972 at the Ilikai Hotel. The three other panels, besides the panel on “Environment,” were “Health,” “Education and Social Services,” and “Economic Development.”
