Second U.S.-Korea Seminar on Science and Technology Policy, Arlington, VA, December 7-11, 1995 and Taejon, Korea, March 1996

小行星9512299 该奖项提供资金，以允许乔治梅森大学科学、贸易和技术政策中心主任J.托马斯·拉奇福德博士与韩国浦项科技大学催化技术研究中心主任Young Gul Kim博士进行第二次美国- 韩国科学技术政策联合研讨会。 这一联合研讨会将分两届举行，第一届于1995年12月在乔治梅森大学举行，第二届于1996年春在韩国大渡科学城举行。 来自华盛顿地区以外的8名美国科学家将获得第一次会议的支持，12名美国参与者将获得在韩国举行的第二次会议的支持。 联合研讨会将有三个主要焦点，即：工业的研发策略;促进大学的基础研究;以及增加美国的韩国科技合作。 1995年12月的会议将紧接着第三届美国-韩国科学技术论坛是在华盛顿，华盛顿特区举行的一项重要年度活动，由韩国科技部资助。 这一时机应该会吸引一些关心此事的美国和韩国专家参加论坛，而且不会增加多少费用。 第二次联合研讨会将安排在美国公司代表参加工业研究所和韩国工业技术协会联合会议的时间（可能是1996年3月）。 参加第二次会议的美国代表团将参观韩国主要的制造业、工业和政府研究实验室以及研究型大学，以便亲身了解韩国的科技活动。 预计国际注册研究所执行主任将参加这两届会议。 合作者非常有资格组织和举办这样一次联合研讨会。 该奖项支持的参与者是公认的专家，他们的演讲将对双方都有好处。 该项目与美国的目标有关-韩国合作科学计划，旨在通过科学信息、思想、技能和技术的交流，以及通过在共同感兴趣和互利的问题上的合作，提高美国和韩国科学家和工程师之间的合作水平。 韩国的参与得到了韩国科学与工程基金会（KOSEF）的支持。

9512299 Ratchford This award provides funds to permit Dr. J. Thomas Ratchford, Director, Center for Science, Trade, and Technology Policy, George Mason University, to conduct with Dr. Dr. Young Gul Kim, Director, Research Center for Catalytic Technology, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Korea, the Second U.S.- Korea Joint Seminar on Science and Technology Policy. This joint seminar will be held in two sessions, the first, in December 1995, at George Mason University, the second, in the spring of 1996, in Daeduk Science Town, Korea. Eight U.S. scientists from outside the Washington area will be supported for the first session, while 12 U.S. participants will be supported for the second session, in Korea. The joint seminar will have three major foci, namely: R&D strategies of industries; the promotion of basic research in universities; and increasing U.S.-Korea S&T cooperation. The December 1995 session will be timed to immediately precede the Third U.S.-Korea Science and Technology Forum, a major annual event held in Washington, D.C., and financed by the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology. This timing should attract, at little additional cost, a number of concerned U.S. and Korean specialists who will participate in the Forum. The second session of the joint seminar will be made to coincide with the time period (probably March 1996) in which representatives of U.S. companies will be attending a joint meeting of the Industrial Research Institute (IRI) and its Korean counterpart, the Korea Industrial Technology Association (KITA). U.S. participants in the second session will tour major manufacturing industries, industrial and government research laboratories, and research universities, in order to provide them a first-hand exposure to Korea's S&T activities. The IRI Executive Director is expected to participate in both sessions. The collaborators are exceptionally well qualified to organize and conduct such a joint seminar. The pa rticipants supported by this award are recognized experts whose presentations will be of mutual interest and benefit. This project is relevant to the objectives of the U.S.-Korea Cooperative Science Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. and Korean scientists and engineers through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual interest and benefit. Korean participation is supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF).
