“…Although the importance of such assessment, few attempts were done in the North African region. Several computing analytical techniques were used to engage stakeholders in the strategic planning process and the use of electronic town meeting (ETM) protocol has evolved quickly since it was firstly introduced in late 1990s when it was used in the USA for engaging citizens and different stakeholders in the policy planning process (Becker, 2001). It was demonstrated that electronic town meetings could be used widely in Science, Technology and Innovation planning process (George, Nunamaker Jr, & Valacich, 1992).…”

In this review, we conduct an exploratory study to assess Egypt Science and Technology System by the utilization of the Delphi survey combined with "Electronic Town Meeting" protocol following a preliminary evaluation of research and innovation performance at the national level. The application of this protocol was directed toward a realization of national science and technology SWOT analysis. Within this analytical framework, we examined different components of Egypt Science and Technology System in addition to competencies, bottlenecks and opportunities with the aim of providing a concrete assessment view and draw useful directions that could be rapidly utilized in different settings. We recommend using this combined protocol in the different strategic planning settings and actions.

“…In addressing these issues, many competing factors must be evaluated; for example it has been argued that in order for an online collaboration to work well a longer time for information deliberation is advisable (Becker, 2001). The authors agree in general, but projects that continue for too long can tax participant ability to commit time to the project; many people find virtual overload unappealing (Geyer, 1996), although the e‐dialogues that engaged the public the most were sustained over a longer period of time.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the potential of online communication technologies to facilitate university‐led transdisciplinary sustainable development research and lower the ecological footprints of such research projects. A series of case studies is to be explored.Design/methodology/approachA one year project is conducted in which a series of research tasks are carried out on an online communications platform. Findings are compared to other examples from the literature.FindingsOnline communication technology can be used to facilitate transdisciplinary research tasks, saving time, money and with less environmental impact than that of face‐to‐face meetings. However, in order for online collaboration to be successful the researchers must be very organized and have strong facilitation skills.Research limitations/implicationsThe research takes place in a North American setting. Time zone issues and access to sufficient internet technology can be a barrier in global research collaboration.Practical implicationsOnline communication technology can be a practical way to lower the environmental impact of the research process and lower the cost of collaborative meetings.Originality/valueThe outcomes of this research suggest online collaboration can play a much larger role in student and faculty research, including but not limited to online research analysis, data collection and field exploration.
