Conference: Transatlantic Uncertainty Colloquiem (TAUC): Making Environmental Decisions in spite of Uncertainty to be held @ Athens, GA & Washington DC (April 2006)

美国环境保护署(EPA)和荷兰环境部已经正式参与了环境政策科学不确定性的问题，但对另一个机构正在做的事情几乎没有关注。Beck、Oye和Reckow希望通过组织一个有美国和欧洲关键学者参加的研讨会来确定科学、政策、技术、法律和社会之间的界面研究面临的挑战。除了撰写论文和一篇重要文章外，研讨会还将有助于形成一个合作网络。

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Netherlands Ministry of the Environment have engaged formally with the issue of uncertainty in science for environmental policy, but have paid little attention to what the other agency is doing. Beck, Oye, and Reckhow want to identify the challenges for research at the interfaces among science, policy, technology, law and society through organizing a workshop that would involve key American and European scholars. Besides producing papers and a major article, the workshop will contribute toward forming a collaborative network.
