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

该奖项旨在资助乔治梅森大学科学、贸易和技术政策中心主任J. Thomas Ratchford博士与韩国浦项科技大学催化技术研究中心主任Young Gul Kim博士共同举办第二届美韩科技政策联合研讨会。这次联合讨论会将分两届举行，第一届于1995年12月在乔治梅森大学举行，第二届于1996年春在韩国大德科学城举行。华盛顿以外地区的8名美国科学家将参加第一次会议，在韩国参加第二次会议的12名美国科学家将得到支持。联合研讨会将有三个重点，即：产业的研发战略；促进高校基础研究；以及加强美韩在标准普尔方面的合作。1995年12月的会议将安排在第三届美韩科学技术论坛之前，该论坛是由韩国科学技术部资助在华盛顿特区举行的重大年度活动。在这个时间点，应该以很少的额外费用，吸引一些有关的美国和韩国专家参加论坛。第二次联合研讨会将与美国企业代表参加产业研究院（IRI）和韩国产业技术协会（KITA）联合会议的时间（可能是1996年3月）相吻合。第二次会议的美方参会者将参观主要制造业、工业和政府研究实验室以及研究型大学，以便让他们第一手了解韩国的标准普尔和税收活动。国际共和研究所执行主任预计将参加这两届会议。合作者非常有资格组织和举办这样一个联合研讨会。该奖项支持的参与者是公认的专家，他们的演讲将使双方都感兴趣和受益。该项目与美韩合作科学计划的目标相关，该计划旨在通过交流科学信息、思想、技能和技术，并通过在共同感兴趣和利益的问题上进行合作，提高美韩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工程财团（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).
