    Suggestions of Nanotechnology Park and Observations on Industrial Challenges
    (2009) Karakas,A.
    This study aims to clarify the establishment of the Nanotechnology Park in South Wales. The feasibility is observed through a survey, and reliability of the survey participants is justified with question structures. As the idea is a unique concept, the survey outcome is analyzed together with recent research and it is aimed to fill the gap in the field. Due to the nature of nanotechnology organizations, the challenges of the industry as well as the researchers are observed. Financial and organizational difficulties of the start-up companies are observed, including the constraints of the industry and research institutions. The outline and proposed issues to be considered are addressed for a nanotechnology park. Multi-disciplined field structure is observed and criticized with the current applications. Further research recommendations are pointed out through finalizing this study.

    Analysis of the Industrial Heritage in Zonguldak and Recommendations for Its Reutilization
    (Univ Alexandru Ioan Cuza Iasi, Arheoinvest interdisciplinary Platform, 2021) Fidan, Fuat; Önür, Selahattin; Onur, Selahattin; Önür, Selahattin; Architecture; Architecture; Architecture
    Significant changes and transformations took place in the structure of societies and cities with the Industrial Revolution besides technological developments. During this period, industrial cities and industrial societies emerged as a result of the settlements that developed near the mines opened to increase production. A similar process took place in Zonguldak; the coal mines in the region allowed it to be established and developed as a port city in 1849. There are industrial structures and facilities in the city that have remained dysfunctional over time. These industrial values, which gained identity to the city and region where they are located, need to be conserved as a heritage. The aim of the study was to analyze, discuss, and develop recommendations for the current state of this industrial heritage. In this context, first, the industrialization process in the city was examined and the urban effects of the coal industry and its role in the development of other industries were revealed. Then, the status of the industrial heritage and the current ideas and approaches regarding this heritage were determined through different industrial building/facility/campus examples in Zonguldak. At this point, recommendations for conservation and recovery of these values in the city have been made.

    Challenges and Best Practices in Industry-Academia Collaborations in Software Engineering: a Systematic Literature Review
    (Elsevier, 2016) Garousi, Vahid; Petersen, Kai; Ozkan, Baris
    Context: The global software industry and the software engineering (SE) academia are two large communities. However, unfortunately, the level of joint industry-academia collaborations in SE is still relatively very low, compared to the amount of activity in each of the two communities. It seems that the two 'camps' show only limited interest/motivation to collaborate with one other. Many researchers and practitioners have written about the challenges, success patterns (what to do, i.e., how to collaborate) and anti-patterns (what not do do) for industry-academia collaborations. Objective: To identify (a) the challenges to avoid risks to the collaboration by being aware of the challenges, (b) the best practices to provide an inventory of practices (patterns) allowing for an informed choice of practices to use when planning and conducting collaborative projects. Method: A systematic review has been conducted. Synthesis has been done using grounded-theory based coding procedures. Results: Through thematic analysis we identified 10 challenge themes and 17 best practice themes. A key outcome was the inventory of best practices, the most common ones recommended in different contexts were to hold regular workshops and seminars with industry, assure continuous learning from industry and academic sides, ensure management engagement, the need for a champion, basing research on real world problems, showing explicit benefits to the industry partner, be agile during the collaboration, and the co-location of the researcher on the industry side. Conclusion: Given the importance of industry-academia collaboration to conduct research of high practical relevance we provide a synthesis of challenges and best practices, which can be used by researchers and practitioners to make informed decisions on how to structure their collaborations.
