The last decade has seen the emergence and growth in this country, and elsewhere, of science parks. In 1984 the United Kingdom Science Park Association (UKSPA) was set up with eight founder members. The mushrooming that followed meant that by 1986 the Association could report 28 fully operated parks, seven others under construction and a number of Associate Members, of which Reading University was one.

Object Of Study

In this paper we report on one aspect of ‘methodology’ as developed in a recent research project. The project was an investigation of the implications of science parks as they are currently being developed in the United Kingdom. And the issue which is reported here is that of conceptualisation—how to conceptualise the central object of study: the science park. A comparison is made between the ‘popular’ definition and one which was arrived at during the research project. This latter mode of conceptualisation follows a broadly critical-realist approach, and we draw out the causal powers which are associated with the definition. This enables a different form of policy-evaluation from the usual empirical assessment of ‘outcomes’. The discussion of this particular case also allows a number of other reflections on the debate around the realist approach to research.

A Company

InCentros Ltd and Erhvers-og Selskabsstyrelesen (hereinafter Centros),1 the European Court of Justice ruled that it is contrary to Article 52 (now Article 432) and Article 58 (now Article 48) of the EC Treaty for the authorities of a member State (in casu Denmark) to refuse to register a branch of a company formed under the law of another member State (in casu the United Kingdom) in which it has its registered office, even if the company concerned has never conducted any business in the latter State and intends to carry out its entire business in the State in which the branch is to be set up. By avoiding the need to form a company there it would thus evade the application of the rules governing the provision for and the paying-up of a minimum share capital in force in that State. According to the Court, this does not, however, prevent the authorities of the member State in which the branch is to be set up from adopting appropriate measures for preventing or penalising fraud, either with regard to the company itself, if need be in co-operation with the member State in which it was formed, or with regard to its members, where it has been determined that they are in fact attempting, by means of the formation of a company, to evade their obligations towards creditors established in the territory of the member State of the branch.

Originally set up in 1988, ARCLIB has become a lively pressure group involving not only architecture school librarians in the United Kingdom but also those in other European countries and the USA. National conferences have provided an annual focus and these are listed in the appendix, but there have also been active international contacts over the years, the current hosting of the ARCLIB discussion list in Venice being one example. ARCLIB also publishes its own Bulletin, which reports on the Group’s activities and keeps members in contact with one another.

And Training

The Young Club of the French Society for Radiation Protection (SFRP), supported by the Rising Generations Group of the United Kingdom Society for Radiation Protection (SRP), teamed up to develop a survey targeted at the young professionals in radiation protection. Data about the background and training, current job and position was collected and provides an overview of the demographic of this group of professionals. The survey was also designed as a place where young people can express their views and opinions about initiatives set up by the employer and the national radiation protection society, and area they would like these organisations to develop further. Several key themes emerged from the answers of the respondents: notably, a high wish for more training in radiation protection – under different arrangements, ways to foster and secure future young professionals and a desire and mechanism for encouraging collaboration and networking between young professionals. Besides the statistical data, the messages from the survey will help to assess the effectiveness of initiatives in place, identify new ones and encourage future initiatives to foster and secure the young professionals in radiation protection.

This paper discusses some of the mental health problems that occur among Youth, and some of the services that have been set up to deal with them in the United Kingdom. While fairly widespread, they are limited through their rather narrow scope. Some of the difficulties encountered are pointed out, including shortages of trained man-power. Suggestions are made on what further could be done to widen these services. It is realised, however, that what is applicable to one country is not necessarily so to another. Psychiatric services especially for adolescents are nevertheless spreading. Can Adolescent Psychiatry yet qualify as another sub-specialty in psychiatry?
