US-China Forum on Science & Technology Policy

[摘要]美国乔治梅森大学拉奇福德分校；乔治梅森大学国家技术与法律中心的J. Thomas Ratchford将与中美两国科学决策界的领导人密切合作，于2006年秋末在北京召开中美科技政策论坛。论坛将有高层决策者和学者参加，其中包括来自往届政府的美国总统科技顾问和中国同行。该论坛将为出席美中科技合作联委会第12次会议的现任决策者提供信息。2004年10月在华盛顿举行的第11届JCM批准了2006年论坛。来自政府、工业界和学术界的大约30名参与者（15名来自美国）将出席会议。代表将包括来自两国的研究生。论坛的目标是：1)为未来中美科学政策学术研究制定一份基准文件；2)解决当前对两国决策者具有重要意义的标准普尔税收政策问题；3)讨论与未来双边科技政策相关的经济、社会和外交政策考虑。论坛的召开正值一个重要时期，填补了学术界对科学利益融合和政策制定对中美科学合作影响的关注空白。该论坛还具有吸引新一代学者进入该领域的强大潜力。

AbstractOISE-0540071Ratchford, George Mason UniversityDr. J. Thomas Ratchford, National Center for Technology and the Law, George Mason University, working closely with leaders from the Chinese and American scientific policymaking community, will convene the US-China Forum on Science & Technology Policy in Beijing in late autumn 2006. The Forum will include high-level policy makers and academics, including U.S. Presidential science and technology advisors from past administrations and their Chinese counterparts. The Forum will inform current policymakers attending the 12th Meeting of the U.S.-China Joint Commission Meeting on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (JCM). The 2006 forum was endorsed by the 11th JCM in Washington D.C in October 2004. Approximately thirty participants (fifteen from the United States) from government, industry and academia will attend. Representatives will include graduate students from both nations. The goals of the forum are to: 1) Develop a baseline document for future scholarship on U.S. and Chinese science policy; 2) Address current S&T policy issues of importance to policy makers in both countries; and 3) Discuss the economic, social and foreign policy considerations relevant to future bilateral science and technology policy. The Forum comes at an important time in filling a gap in scholarly attention to the converging interests of science and the effects of policymaking on China-US scientific cooperation. The Forum also has strong potential to attract a new generation of scholars into the field.
