Sigma Xi 1995 Forum Vannevar Bush II: Science for the 21st Century, Sheraton Imperial Hotel, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina

该奖项为1995西格玛XI论坛提供了部分支持。这次论坛是为了纪念万尼瓦尔·布什的开创性报告《科学：无尽的前沿》发表50周年，并对他关于联邦政府在支持科学研究中的作用的假设进行了检验。其目的是在冷战结束后制定一份最新的国家科学使命宣言，并在未来几十年为指导性的国家科学和技术愿景做出贡献。Sigma Xi由500个分会和俱乐部组成的广泛网络，并延伸到学术、工业和政府部门，为推动这一讨论提供了坚实的基础。论坛的形式仿照以往成功的论坛，包括演讲者、小组讨论和分组讨论，为期两天。演讲者包括大学和工业研究领域的领导人，以及政府和基金会官员。与会者将包括来自私营和公共部门组织的科学家和官员。会议记录将包括分组结论和建议以及全体会议发言文本。

This award provides partial support for the 1995 Sigma Xi forum. The forum marks the 50th anniversary of Vannevar Bush's seminal report Science: The Endless Frontier, with an examination of his assumptions about the role of the federal government in supporting scientific research. The aim is to develop an updated national mission statement for science in the aftermath of the Cold War and to contribute to a guiding national vision for science and technology in the decades ahead. Sigma Xi's extensive network of 500 chapters and clubs, with outreach into the academic, industrial, and governmental sectors, provides a solid base from which to stimulate this discussion. The forum's format, patterned on previous successful forums, includes speakers, panels, and breakout groups over a period of two days. Speakers include leaders in university and industrial research, as well as government and foundation officials. Participants will include scientists and officials from private and public sector organizations. A proceedings volume will include breakout group conclusions and recommendations as well as the texts of plenary addresses.
