U.S.-Italy Workshop: Advances in Energy Studies Exploring Supplies, Constraints and Strategies, La Spezia, Italy, May 2000

这项为期15个月的奖励将支持美国参加于2000年5月在意大利拉斯佩齐亚举行的关于能源研究进展的联合国际研讨会。佛罗里达大学的Mark Brown和意大利锡耶纳大学的Sergio Ulgiati将组织这次研讨会。美国研究人员将参加一个由来自美国和欧洲的不同研究人员组成的论坛，为能源和资源利用的理论基础以及应对经济和环境的政策和管理工具的发展创造未来合作的机会。会议的重点将是对能源、环境和经济限制以及定量和定性决策工具的评价。会议的范围很广，因此能够采取多学科和多部门的办法。最终目标是鼓励未来的合作研究，以更好地理解能源、环境和经济之间的联系。

9909758BrownThis 15-month award will support US participation in a joint international workshop on advances in energy studies to take place in La Spezia, Italy, in May, 2000. Mark Brown of the University of Florida and Sergio Ulgiati of the University of Siena, Italy, will organize the workshop. The workshop involves US researchers' participation in a forum for a diverse group of researchers from the US and Europe to develop opportunities for future collaboration on the theoretical basis of energy and resource use and the development of policy and management tools to deal with the economy and the environment. The focus of the meeting will be on the evaluation of energy sources, environmental and economic constraints, and quantitative and qualitative decision making tools. The broad scope of the meeting will enable a multidisciplinary and multisectoral approach. The ultimate objective is to encourage future cooperative research aimed at better understanding the link between energy, environment, and the economy.
