Planning Visit to China and Japan: Building an Agenda for Public Understanding of Science

这是德克萨斯农工大学的理查德·纳德博士和艾米丽·阿什沃斯博士提交的一项为期两年的提案，旨在协调参与公众理解科学的美国社区进行为期两周的联合对话和实地访问，目的是：(1)了解影响每个国家公众理解科学的因素，(2)研究实现公众理解科学的现有模式，(3)讨论各种方法的相对有效性，以及(4)确定未来公众理解科学合作的优先事项。参与公众理解科学的美国社区随后将在美国举办后续研讨会。公众对科学的理解是美国国家科学基金会的一项倡议。它也被我们的东亚同行国家认为是重要的。这些研讨会的目的是在美国与中国和日本的对应社区之间建立一个公众理解的议程。中国自然科学基金、日本科学技术厅和国家自然科学基金共同资助了这一项目。

0087417NaderThis is a two-year proposal submitted by Dr. Richard Nader and Dr. Emily Ashworth, Texas A & M University, to coordinate the U.S. communities involved in the public understanding of science to conduct a two-week series of joint dialogues and site visits, in order to: (1) understand factors impacting public understanding of science in each of the countries, (2) examine current models for achieving public understanding of science, (3) discuss the relative effectiveness of various methods, and (4) identify priorities for future collaboration on public understanding of science. The U.S. communities involved in the public understanding of science will then host a follow-up workshop in the United States. The public understanding of science is an NSF-wide initiative. It is also considered important by our counterpart countries in East Asia. The purpose of these workshops is to build an agenda for public understanding between the United States and its counterpart communities in China and Japan. The Natural Science Foundation of China, the Japan Science and Technology Agency and the NSF jointly support this project.
