The role of an academic centre.
On FRAME's 40th anniversary, I had the opportunity to examine FRAME and CAAT's missions as closely linked to those of their universities. The roles of education, research and service are key, both to the universities and to our two centres. By examining the current programmes, and identifying the needs of the future, the research activities, policy studies and training, it becomes clear that the Three Rs of alternatives contribute significantly to our respective universities' missions.
