Languages

The United Nations announced that 2008 would be the International Year of

communications gap between academia and industry, asking (and attempting to
answer) such questions as: 


How can industry help academia prioritize its research in the 3 Ms? 

What are the developing standards, who are developing them and will they be
used? 

How will this generate peace, prosperity and global understanding?
