It will have to chase "projects" and "tenders" and so on. In the process, concentration on particular technologies will be diluted.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, like you say, depending on the wrong kind of funding source will also corrupt it. However, there are non-governmental funding sources available.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps a compromise would be to give it 2-3 years without having to worry about funding, then make it self-sustaining using the skills developed? At that point the entrepreneurs and other stakeholders can kick in?<BR/><BR/>I had a long discussion with the Business Manager of a CoE out of Univ of Birmingham. They are entirely funded/subsidized. Not only that, they also help industries to raise funds needed to engage with them.ulysseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09700270233759256479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20121175.post-1149289415414941932006-06-02T16:03:00.000-07:002006-06-02T16:03:00.000-07:00Idea of subsidy is no good for CoE.Government shou...Idea of subsidy is no good for CoE.<BR/>Government should not be involved. Reason, obvious: corrupt and incapable. Ideas should be funded by the entrepreneur or those receiving benefits. <BR/><BR/>Just a thought. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
