U.S.-German Seminar on Bilateral Cooperation in Science and Technology; Berlin, Germany, September 9-11, 1991.

该奖项支持由12名美国专家组成的国际科技政策，特别是美德科技关系方面的专家小组，参加关于科技双边合作的美德研讨会。该会议由美国科学促进会、德国亚历山大·冯·洪堡基金会、以及德国技术和科学学会联盟。它将于1991年9月9日至11日在柏林举行。会议的主要主题是科技的全球化，研究和发展经费的国家问题的比较，以及解决公众对科学发展的关注。会议的目标与美国国家科学基金会的美德合作科学计划的目标特别相关。他们将：1)回顾德美在科技领域合作活动的主要领域，考虑这些努力的优势和劣势；（二）就互利合作的未来发展和新机遇交换意见；3)加强两国在科技领域的合作，重点关注竞争前研究；4)在地区和国际发展的背景下审视美德合作。研讨会的结果和建议将广泛传播给美国和德国以及其他国家的公共和私人组织。这些建议预计不仅对未来的美德双边合作有影响，而且对国际科学政策也有影响。

This award supports a group of twelve U.S. experts in international science and technology (S & T) policy, and especially U.S.-German S & T relations, to participate in a U.S.-German seminar on bilateral cooperation in S & T. The meeting is co-organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany, and the German Union of Technical and Scientific Societies. It will take place in Berlin from September 9 through 11, 1991. The principal themes of the meeting are the globalization of S & T, the comparison of national issues in Research and Development funding, and addressing of public concerns about scientific developments. The objectives of the meeting are particularly relevant to the objectives of NSF's U.S.-German cooperative science program. They are to: 1) Review major areas of German-American cooperative activities in S & T, considering strengths and weaknesses in these efforts; 2) Exchange views on future developments and new opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation; 3) Enhance relations between the two countries in S & T, focusing on pre- competitive research; and 4) Examine U.S.-German cooperation in the context of regional and international developments. The seminar findings and recommendations will be disseminated widely to public and private organizations in the U.S. and Germany, as well as other countries. These recommendations are expected to have implications not only for the future of U.S.-German bilateral cooperation but also for international science policy.
