1988 International Regional Science and Technology Policy Research Conference: Information and Innovative Finance for Regional Development and Restructuring

SBR-9710450迈克尔岛北卡罗来纳州卢格大学，查佩尔山 该奖项支持一小群国际学者和美国研究生参加一个关于“区域发展和重组的信息和创新融资”的研究讲习班。“讲习班将与1998年5月在北卡罗来纳州举行的第四次区域科学和技术政策研究国际会议一起举行。 研究讲习班将是更广泛的会议的一个重点，会议将包括政府官员和规划人员。 因此，讲习班的论文和讨论将在学术界以外找到直接听众。 此外，这些论文和互动将反映在研究人员将在讲习班结束后编写的一本编辑成册中。 讲习班的四个专题是：联网信息技术作为区域发展工具的潜力;“虚拟”区域的运作;信息技术与贫困城市地区的经济发展;以及信息基础设施的筹资。

SBR-9710450 Michael I. Luger University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill This award supports travel for a small group of international scholars and U.S. graduate students to participate in a research workshop on "information and innovative finance for regional development and restructuring." The workshop will be held in conjunction with the fourth international conference on Regional Science and Technology Policy Research (RESTPOR), in North Carolina in May 1998. The research workshop will be a focus of the broader conference which will include government officials and planners. Thus, the papers and discussions of the workshop will find an immediate audience beyond the academy. In addition, the papers and interactions will be reflected in an edited volume that the investigator will produce after the workshop. The four topics for the workshop are : the potential of networked information technologies as a tool for regional development; the operation of "virtual" regions; information technology and economic development of distressed urban areas; and the financing of information infrastructure.
