Workshop on Research Related to the World Trade Center Disaster

这次研讨会汇集了在2001年9月11日恐怖袭击现场从事调查、反应和恢复活动的研究人员和政府官员。研讨会的日期是2001年12月12日至13日，地点是纽约市，这反映出它是WTC研究工作的赞助商和协调组织：由NSF支持的民用基础设施系统研究所，位于纽约大学瓦格纳公共服务研究生院。研讨会的目标是实现信息共享，目的是确定要追求的技术、经济和社会研究领域；潜在的合作者或合作伙伴；新研究必须解决的知识差距，以及研究和参与的领域，这些领域既不会有成果，也不会有用处。讲习班的产出将包括：1)研究人员的网站资源；2)与会者的初步研究结果文件；3)研究主题和决策者的意见摘要，也将在网上传播。

This workshop brings together researchers and government officials engaged in investigative, response, and recovery activities at the World Trade Center (WTC) site of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. The workshop dates are December 12-13, 2001 and the location is New York City, reflecting its sponsor and coordinating organization for the WTC research efforts: the NSF-supported Institute for Civil Infrastructure Systems, housed at New York University's Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.The workshop's goals are to enable information sharing with the aim of identifying technological, economic, and social research areas to pursue; potential collaborators or partners; gaps of knowledge that new research must address, and areas of research and participation that will not be productive nor useful. Outputs from the workshop will include 1) a web site resource for researchers; 2) preliminary findings papers from the participants; and 3) a summary of the research themes and input from decision-makers , which will also be disseminated on the web.
