9424373刘易斯该奖项将支持10名美国科学家和15名外国科学家和工程师参加将于1995年6月与每四年举行的第十八届太平洋科学大会同时在北京举行的关于妇女和青年科学家和工程师参与的专题讨论会。夏威夷大学社会科学学院副院长南希·戴维斯·刘易斯博士是美国的联合组织者。共同召集人是北京国家科学技术发展研究中心科技政策主任董桂兰。第十八届太平洋科学大会秘书长由中国科学院傅聪斌担任。主办方还与中国妇女科协秘书长吴甘梅合作。太平洋科学大会将以“人口、资源和环境：前景和倡议”为主题。这次研讨会的重点是建立对话和发起项目，鼓励亚洲和太平洋地区的女性和年轻研究人员参与科学研究。将在会议期间举行的会议将专门评估现有的人力资源、科学和文化的作用、妇女和科学事业的性质。将用较短的讨论时间讨论对鼓励科学事业、国家和国际组织的作用以及区域合作产生积极影响的倡议。这笔赠款的资金还将用于支持东南亚区域的与会者，特别注意太平洋岛屿的个人的参与，这些人在区域活动中常常被忽视。刘易斯博士在该地区及其教育和科学组织有广泛的联系，并处于确保太平洋岛屿参与的有利地位。这特别及时，因为太平洋科学协会的下一次大会间会议“太平洋世纪的岛屿”将于1997年年中在斐济的苏瓦举行。在北京会议上发起的关于亚洲及太平洋科学中的妇女和青年的讨论可以继续下去，1997年在苏瓦有更广泛的太平洋岛屿参与。

9424373 Lewis This award will support the participation of ten American and fifteen foreign scientists and engineers at a symposium on the involvement of women and young scientists and engineers to be held in Beijing, China in June 1995 in conjunction with the XVIII Pacific Science Congress, which is held every four years. Dr. Nancy Davis Lewis, the Associate Dean of the College of Social Sciences at the University of Hawaii, is the American co-organizer. The Co-Convener is Dong Guilan, Director for Science and Technology Policy at the National Research Center for Sciences and Technology Development in Beijing. The Secretary General for the XVIII Pacific Science Congress is Congbin Fu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The organizers are also working in cooperation with Wu Ganmei, Secretary General of the China Women's Association for Science and Technology. The Pacific Science Congress will have as its theme "Population, Resources and Environment: Prospects and Initiatives". This symposium will focus on establishing a dialogue and initiating programs that encourage the participation of women and young investigators in science in Asia and the Pacific. Sessions to be held during the meeting will be devoted to taking stock on available human resources, science and the role of culture, and women and the nature of the scientific enterprise. Shorter discussion periods will be devoted to initiatives that are showing a positive influence on encouraging scientific careers, the role of national and international organizations, and regional cooperation. Funds from this grant also will be used to support participants from the southeast Asian region with particular attention to the participation of individuals from the Pacific Islands who are often overlooked in regional activities. Dr. Lewis has extensive contacts in the region and its educational and scientific organizations and is well placed to assure Pacific Island participation. This is particularl y timely because the next Inter-Congress meeting of the Pacific Science Association, "The Islands in the Pacific Century", will be held in Suva, Fiji in mid-1997. The discussions on women and young people in Asia and Pacific Science initiated at the Beijing meeting can continue, with even wider Pacific Island participation, in Suva in 1997.
