Workshop on US-Hungarian Research Collaboration to Address IT Challenges for 21st Century Society

这一合作赠款研讨会为建立美国-匈牙利联合研究项目奠定了基础。拟议的一系列活动是NSF项目经理和2002年秋天访问NSF的匈牙利研究科学家之间正在进行的讨论的结果。这些讨论的结果是，匈牙利研究人员出席并参加了2003年5月举行的数字政府私营部门及其政府机构合作伙伴年度会议(Dgo2003)。在dgo2003上组织了国际数字政府研究合作小组的两名美国研究人员，在与匈牙利与会者讨论时，接受了匈牙利人的邀请，组织了一个美国研究人员小组，于今年晚些时候在匈牙利举行会议。这是一个自然的步骤，可以实现以下领域的合作：1.电子政务研究2.信息社会技术3.信息社会研究、社会信息学、信息问题研究

This collaborative grant workshop lays a foundation for building joint US-Hungarian research projects. The proposed set of activities is an outgrowth of ongoing discussions between NSF program managers and Hungarian Research Scientists visiting NSF in the Fall of 2002. These discussions culminated in Hungarian researchers attending and participating in the annual meeting of digital government PI's and their government agency partners in May 2003 (dgo2003). Two US researchers who organized an International Digital Government Research Collaborations panel at dgo2003, in discussion with the Hungarian participants, accepted an invitation by the Hungarians to organize a small group of US researchers to meet in Hungary later in the year. This is a natural step that enables collaborations within the following domains:1. E-government research2. Information society technologies3. Information society studies, social informatics, research on information issues
