Abstract
The author outlines key features of the Japanese approach to continuing technological education and points up the contrasts in skill-development experience in Japan and the UK. She then reviews recent trends in Japan in the development of multi-skilled engineers; describes government initiatives aimed at the promotion of university–industry cooperation; and finally addresses the important policy issue facing Europe and the USA of providing greater access to Japanese science and technology, especially through exchange of researchers and information.
