Po i n t o f viEw in t E g ra t i o n aC a d E m y / in d u s t r y: quo va d i s? In the beginning of the twenty-first century science in Brazil is experiencing a period of sustainable growth regarding any evaluation criteria used (e.g. number of publications, number of PhD graduates, international insertion, etc.). However, with respect to the industrial sector it is undergoing a process of “deindustrialization,” since the current share of this sector in the economy is only about 23%, which represents a significant drop when compared with the last two decades. The transition from a model of mineral and agro-based exports system, which currently predominates, to another one based on high-tech companies is too long and tortuous. It requires, among others, an effective interaction between academia and industry. From the academic side, the challenge is to change the focus in a conventional disciplinary and departmental approach to a system focused beyond the academicals departments, and including “Centers of Excellence”, where the multi and interdisciplinary approach are predominant. These “Centers of Excellence” should have some valuable characteristics, such as : i) institutional autonomy; ii) financial sustainability; iii) intelligence and leadership, iv) partnerships with public and private sectors; v) national and international partnerships; vi) an interdisciplinary research agenda, and vii ) basic and applied research. In turn, from the Industrial side, the challenge is create, over the country, research centers, capable of dialogue and practice effective partnerships with the academia, in the model, for example, of the Research Center Leopoldo Américo Miguez de Mello, CENPES - Petrobras. For instance, most of the Petrobras’ leadership in deepwater exploration results from the academy/industry interaction. Other companies (e.g. Braskem, Vale and Natura) have increased the interaction academy / company and have achieved relevant results. But, although qualified, the interaction between academia and industry is still small, compared to the country needs, being necessary to be improved. Scientific research, technology and innovation, require an interdisciplinary approach. Chemistry, a branch of science essentially experimental, has an important role in this interaction through the construction and transformation of molecules and, in particular, their immense responsibility in the establishment, and recognition, of standards and quality assurance of products. In this way, chemistry enables interaction Academy / Company / Society! The integration Academy / Company is the way to the country turn knowledge into goods and welfare for the population.

Po i n t o f viEw go o d fast ChEaP Ch o o s E a n y t w o This should be the theme of the shell for industrial chemists, as it accurately portrays the daily lives of every laboratory in the industry. As thought in academy we always known how to start, deploy, and complete an analysis (nothing like using the logical sequence of a survey for cations and anions as learned in qualitative analytical chemistry). With the resources of equipment now available at the university - or at least should be - we also develop a good knowledge of instrumental analysis and, aided by access to computers in existence today, of chemometrics. Nothing like what we had 40 years ago. Over time we have obtained excellent analytical results more accurate and faster with the use of the latest equipment. However, if it was to be perform, the same analysis, using conventional methods and techniques (such as gravimetric/ titration analysis), we would find ourselves in trouble. Skills were lost and worse, knowledge. However things can be even worse, now there is an aggravating circumstance: that the outcome of the machine is regarded as divine truth. For new equipment manufacturers they “teach” what buttons to push to get the results, but for the correct interpretation of them, we still relay on academic support. The university must provide the knowledge bases, and show how and where to seek information that may be necessary of professional development of their students. Some very good journals, for example, Analytical Chemistry, brings excellent articles, but of little use in practice of the laboratory industry. Try just look for one that instructs how to open a sample. The university has a major role, instill the habit of think. Vladis Bernal Bassetto. Bachelor in chemistry, IQ-USP 1974.
