Workshop on Research Related to the World Trade Center Disaster

该研讨会汇集了在2001年9月11日遭受恐怖袭击的世界贸易中心遗址从事调查、应对和恢复活动的研究人员和政府官员。研讨会日期为2001年12月12日至13日，地点在纽约市，这反映了它的赞助者和世贸中心研究工作的协调组织：美国国家科学基金会支持的民用基础设施系统研究所，设在纽约大学瓦格纳公共服务研究生院。讲习班的目标是促进信息共享，以确定要进行的技术、经济和社会研究领域；潜在的合作者或伙伴；新研究必须解决的知识差距，以及研究和参与既不会产生成果也不会有用的领域。讲习班的产出将包括：1)研究人员的网站资源；2)参与者的初步研究成果论文；3)总结研究主题和决策者的意见，并在网上发布。

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.
