Yet, much of the development of HTE technologies and techniques, as well as the majority of their applications, have taken place in industry or in national facilities working closely with industry. We consider the drivers behind such developments, and we examine the extent to which special HTE skills & technologies provide a robust basis in themselves for a sustainable business. We ask how perspectives on the role of HTE can shift from early conception through completion of a first application project, and how requirements on technology concomitantly then evolve. And we look for commonalities and synergies across diverse HTE application areas, taking examples from the catalysis, fluid formulations and bioengineering fields.</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><b>HOST:</b> Dr. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Jose Castillo</span></font></div><div><br></div></div>
