Abstract

This workshop re-opens the discussion of the challenges faced by academia when preparing students to take jobs in industry. The workshop's goal is to develop a framework by which academia and industry can better communicate and resolve their differing needs and goals. The workshop will provide practical guidance for academia and industry to take forward and continue the dialogue.
