but his contribution was understood not well by the scientific environment (Moreau, 1984). The first machines were realized in the 1950s.

These short summaries also make it clear that the early era of computer technology saw the deep involvement of the academic environment.

In Europe, the academic environment was leading head-to-head with the US one until the 1960s,

This explains why fundamentally new ideas on technology are often the product of academic environments,

The computer originated in the academic environment. Zuse and IBM are special cases. From the Moore School and the University of Iowa, from Aiken and Wilkes to Algol, the vast majority of the essential steps were achieved on academic grounds.

Building up an attractive scientific environment requires obsessive attention to quality criteria in recruitment and promotion of academic staff,

Also, deep and radically new ideas often originated in academic environments, were incubated for some years,

although complex and nonlinear, relations between industry and the academic environment. The search regime in computer science is based on a massive and fast effort of exploration of many competing directions,

The firms created in these periods had to survive in a harsh competitive environment, to access the risk capital market and eventually the stock exchange market,

A key factor in this is protecting and enhancing the region's heritage and environment which include natural habitats and wildlife, landscapes and seascapes, the built character of villages,

towns and cities, including Zones of Archaeological Potential, Architectural Conservation Areas, Protected Structures, Recorded Monuments, National monuments and their settings.
