Abstract
IN scientific research, and in the application to industry of the results of research, the problems encountered are of increasing complexity. Scientific workers engaged in this Work feel the necessity for consultation or collaboration with specialists in fields other than their own. Indeed, it has become a commonplace that most industrial research problems require teams of experts from many branches of science and engineering. The interdependence of the various branches of science and technology has long been recognized ; but collaboration between the corresponding societies has been practised to a noticeable extent only in comparatively recent years. Joint conferences, such as that held at the University of Birmingham during September 21–23, are therefore welcome not only for their immediate value, but also as tokens of the growing integration of science.
