ABSTRACTOISE-0735431 Staveloz, Association of Science - Technology Centers (ASTC)US-China Science Popularization Forum"This award funds travel support for a delegation of five academics and professionals to participate in a high-level Science Popularization Forum to be held in Shanghai, China, May 23-25, 2007. U.S. participation in the China-U.S. Science Popularization Forum is being organized by Walter Staveloz, International Relations Director for the Association of Science Technology Centers (ASTC). The counterpart organizer is PAN, Zheng, Director of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, with funding from the Ministry of Science and Technology of China. In addition to the Forum, U.S. participants will visit additional sites including the Shanghai Entomological Museum, Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the Shanghai Energy Conservation and Supervision Center for extended discussions on joint projects of interest. The topic to be addressed is an important one in the bilateral relationship and promotes not only the importance of science and technology to the public, but also exemplifies for the U.S. informal science education community, the value added by taking a cross-cultural perspective in spurring new public interest in science in both countries. The U.S. and Chinese participants are well qualified, noted experts on the topics, and the format of the meeting, with attendant site visits, will have a positive impact on generating ideas for future projects.

美国科学技术中心协会（ASTC）美中科普论坛（US-China Science科普论坛）主席Staveloz说：“这项奖金将资助一个由五名学者和专业人士组成的代表团参加2007年5月23日至25日在中国上海举行的高级别科普论坛。美国参与中美关系。科普论坛由中国科学技术中心协会（ASTC）国际关系主任Walter Staveloz组织。协办单位为上海科技馆馆长潘铮，由中国科技部资助。除论坛外，美方参会者还将参观上海昆虫博物馆、中国中医药博物馆和上海节能与监督中心等其他地点，就共同感兴趣的项目进行深入讨论。将要讨论的主题是双边关系中的一个重要主题，不仅促进了科学和技术对公众的重要性，而且还为美国非正式科学教育界提供了例证，说明了通过跨文化视角激发两国公众对科学的新兴趣所带来的附加价值。美国和中国的与会者都是相关领域的知名专家，会议的形式和现场考察将对为未来的项目产生想法产生积极影响。
