Travel Grant - International Symposium on Technology and Society, June 20-21, 1997, Glasgow, Scotland

这笔赠款中的旅行资金有助于支持一位哲学家和美国工程学和科学技术研究专业的学生参加今年6月在苏格兰格拉斯哥举行的IEEE学会关于技术的社会影响国际研讨会。学生们将参加会议的两个主要主题的特别会议-知识产权和新技术，以及大学与产业研究互动中出现的伦理、法律和价值问题。教师参与者将提交一篇关于专利和生物技术问题的论文。学生的选择将基于全国范围内的申请，以电子方式发送给美国主要的科学和技术研究项目，以及对与技术相关的伦理和价值问题感兴趣的工程学教师。申请者将提交简短的研究论文，IEEE管理委员会将审查这些论文的优点，包括组织特别会议的学生代表。这次会议的结果预计将发表在SSIT杂志《技术与社会》和《社会科学计算评论》上。

Travel funds in this grant help to support a philosopher and U.S. students in engineering and in science and technology studies, to attend the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology International Symposium on Technology and Society this June in Glasgow, Scotland. The students will participate in a special session on two major themes of the meeting - intellectual property rights and new technology, and ethical, legal, and value issues that arise in university-industry research interactions. The faculty participant will present a paper on issues of patenting and biotechnology. Student selection will be based on a national call for applications sent electronically to major programs in science and technology studies in the U.S., as well as to engineering faculty interested in ethical and value issues related to technology. Applicants will submit short research papers which will be reviewed for merit by the IEEE Administrative Committee, including the student representative who is organizing the special session. Results from the conference are expected to be published in the SSIT magazine Technology and Society, and in the Social Science Computing Review.
