U.S./Norway Cooperative Workshops on Ocean Engineering and Research

佛罗里达大西洋大学工程学院担任美国-挪威海洋工程研究合作讲习班的美国协调员。建议举办两个研讨会，一个是在挪威举行的自主水下航行器和水下机器人技术研讨会，另一个是在佛罗里达州举行的水产养殖/海洋牧场技术研讨会。这些研讨会将把两国的主要研究人员聚集在一起，进一步发展这一领域的联合研究项目。佛罗里达州皮尔斯堡的海港分会基金会将提供本文所述的援助。大约10名来自美国的个人将被选中参加每个研讨会。挪威人还将为每个讲习班挑选大约10名参加者。与会者将会面三天，发表论文，讨论共同研究兴趣的主题，并规划未来的合作。另外一到两天将用于参观与讲习班主题有关的设施。

The College of Engineering of Florida Atlantic University serves as the U.S. coordinator for United States-Norway cooperative workshops in ocean engineering research. Two workshops are proposed, one on the subject of autonomous underwater vehicle and subsea robotics technology in Norway, and the other on aquaculture/sea ranching technology in Florida. These workshops will serve to bring leading researchers in both countries together to further develop joint research programs in this area. The Harbor Branch Foundation, Ft. Pierce, FL will provide assistance as stated herein. Approximately ten individuals from the U.S. will be selected to participate in each workshop. The Norwegians will also select approximately ten participants for each workshop. The participants will meet for three days, presenting papers, discussing topics of mutual research interest and planning for future collaboration. One or two additional days will be used for conducting visits of facilities pertaining to the workshop topics.
