Workshop on Early Child and Brain Development to be held June 12-15, 2002 in Bucharest, Romania

2002年6月12日至15日，在罗马尼亚的布加勒斯特将举办儿童早期和大脑发育研讨会。研讨会的主要目标是在罗马尼亚研究人员、学术界和从业人员与美国同行之间开展对话。由于长期的共产主义统治，罗马尼亚对儿童早期发育和大脑发育的认识状况一直受到影响，并且在尼古拉·齐奥塞斯库垮台后的十年中进展缓慢。因此，讲习班还将向罗马尼亚与会者介绍儿童早期发育和大脑早期发育方面的最新知识。参加研讨会的罗马尼亚人和美国人将能够共同努力，确定罗马尼亚与会者所代表的各个领域的具体信息和资源需求。最后，研讨会将使美国与会者能够与可能的合作者和/或可能的接受者建立联系，以获得未来的学术/研究支持。
