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

该奖项支持12名美国国际科技(S)政策专家，特别是美德S科技关系专家，参加美国和德国关于S科技合作的研讨会。这次会议是由美国科学促进会、德国亚历山大·冯·洪堡基金会和德国技术和科学学会联盟共同举办的。会议将于1991年9月9日至11日在柏林举行。会议的主要主题是S公司的全球化，各国在研发资金方面的问题比较，以及解决公众对科学发展的关切。这次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。它们是：1)回顾德美在S事务所的合作活动的主要领域，考虑这些活动的优势和不足；2)就未来的发展和互利合作的新机遇交换意见；3)加强两国在S事务所的关系，重点是竞争前的研究；4)从地区和国际发展的角度审视美德合作。研讨会的结果和建议将广泛传播给美国、德国以及其他国家的公共和私人组织。预计这些建议不仅会对美德双边合作的未来产生影响，也会对国际科学政策产生影响。

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.
