Professor Hounshell is convening a workshop of natural scientists, policy makers, historians, social and behavioral scientists to establish the dimensions of the impact of the Cold War on science and technology. With an understanding of how the Cold War shaped the development and institutions of science and technology, the participants will then turn to formulation of realistic science and technology policies for the post-Cold War era. This workshop will be held at the Santa Fe Institute near to Las Alamos, the site where the first atomic bomb was developed and one of the premier Cold War institutions. The workshop will be held from September 19-20, 1994. The Cold War altered the course of science and technology (S&T) in both the United States and the Soviet Union. The pursuit of knowledge became an instrument for ensuring national security. Government policies for funding S&T shifted dramatically as did the methods of producing new knowledge. National security establishments burgeoned and brought into being new institutions for the manipulation of knowledge. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc, the rationale for the existence of many of the institutions, structures, patterns of thought, habits, culture and mentalities collapsed as well. As we move to a post-Cold War S&T policy, a full understanding of the development of these patterns is essential in order most effectively to replace them with policies to meet the new situation. This workshop will provide the background for the construction of these new policies.

Hounshell教授正在召集自然科学家，政策制定者，历史学家，社会和行为科学家的研讨会，以建立冷战对科学和技术的影响的层面。 在了解冷战如何塑造科学和技术的发展和制度之后，与会者将转向制定后冷战时代的现实科学和技术政策。 该讲习班将在拉斯阿拉莫斯附近的圣达菲研究所举行，该研究所是研制第一枚原子弹的地方，也是冷战时期最重要的机构之一。 讲习班将于1994年9月19日至20日举行。 冷战改变了美国和苏联的科学技术（S T）进程。 对知识的追求成为确保国家安全的工具。 政府资助科学技术的政策发生了巨大的变化，产生新知识的方法也发生了巨大的变化。 国家安全机构蓬勃发展，并产生了操纵知识的新机构。 随着苏联和东方集团的解体，许多制度、结构、思维模式、习惯、文化和心态的存在理由也随之崩溃。 当我们转向冷战后的科技政策时，充分了解这些模式的发展是至关重要的，以便最有效地用适应新形势的政策来取代它们。 这次研讨会将为制定这些新政策提供背景资料。
