0221207LewensteinThis award supports a total of 37 participants from the United States, South and East Asia, and the Americas in a US-Africa Workshop on "Achieving Public Understanding of Science in Developing Countries," scheduled for December 5-9, 2002, in Cape Town, South Africa. There will be a total of approximately 60 participants, which will also include attendees from Europe and Australia. A special effort has been made to include participants from developing countries throughout the world. The co-organizers are Professor Bruce Lewenstein, with the Department of Communication at Cornell University, and Ms. Marina Joubert, with the Department of Science Communication at the Foundation for Education, Science, and Technology (FEST), Pretoria South Africa. The workshop participants will explore issues on the public understanding of science, and build networks and collaborations that can lead to innovative projects and research. The meeting will bring together knowledgeable practitioners of public communication of science and technology, scholars, and scientists. They reflect a great diversity of expertise, with some coming from the electronic or print media fields, while others are experienced in presenting research to the public. The meeting will explore two cross-cutting issues: 1) the difference between public understanding of science and public understanding of research, and 2) the differences between a traditional deficit model of science communication and newer contextual, lay knowledge/expertise, and participation models of science communication. Prior to the workshop each participant will produce an "op-ed piece" about the challenges and opportunities for achieving public understanding of science in developing countries. These position statements will be circulated to all participants in preparation for discussion during the meeting. As an outcome of the workshop a guide will be produced for use in the development of a "Southern African Science Communication Network." Results will be disseminated through professional journals and via a web site.The project supports the participation of two junior investigators from the United States, and one from Nigeria. The Office of International Science and Engineering, the Directorate for Education and Human Resources, and the Division of Social and Economic Sciences jointly support this award.

0221207Lewenstein 该奖项资助来自美国、南亚、东亚以及美洲的总共 37 名参与者参加“发展中国家公众对科学的理解”美非研讨会，该研讨会定于 2002 年 12 月 5 日至 9 日在南非开普敦举行。 共有约 60 名与会者，其中还包括来自欧洲和澳大利亚的与会者。 我们特别努力吸引来自世界各地发展中国家的参与者。联合组织者是康奈尔大学传播系的 Bruce Lewenstein 教授和南非比勒陀利亚教育、科学和技术基金会 (FEST) 科学传播系的 Marina Joubert 女士。 研讨会参与者将探讨公众对科学的理解问题，并建立可以带来创新项目和研究的网络和合作。这次会议将汇集知识渊博的公共科学技术传播实践者、学者和科学家。 他们反映了多元化的专业知识，其中一些来自电子或印刷媒体领域，而另一些则在向公众展示研究方面拥有丰富的经验。会议将探讨两个交叉问题：1）公众对科学的理解与公众对研究的理解之间的差异；2）传统的科学传播赤字模式与新的背景、非专业知识/专业知识和科学传播参与模式之间的差异。 在研讨会之前，每位参与者将撰写一篇“专栏文章”，介绍发展中国家公众对科学的理解所面临的挑战和机遇。 这些立场声明将分发给所有与会者，为会议期间的讨论做准备。 作为研讨会的成果，将制作一份指南，用于开发“南部非洲科学传播网络”。 结果将通过专业期刊和网站传播。该项目支持两名来自美国的初级研究人员和一名来自尼日利亚的初级研究人员的参与。 国际科学与工程办公室、教育与人力资源局、社会与经济科学部共同支持该奖项。
