This project funded by Science and Society, Biology, and the Science of Science and Innovation Policy Programs provides partial support for the 2008 Gordon Research Conference on Science and Technology Policy in Big Sky, Montana. The focus of this year's conference is "Governing Emerging Technologies." The cases addressed at the conference include nanotechnologies, synthetic biology and genetic modification, and the intersection of cogno-and neuron-technologies. Four main themes are addressed in presentations and poster sessions: 1) anticipation of the kinds of transformations these technologies may create; 2) engagement with various publics over the values that underpin work on these technologies; 3) integration of social science and humanist inquiry with scientific and technical work in these areas; and 4) implementation of a variety of governance mechanisms that cover the wide spectrum between completely laissez faire and highly interventionist approaches. An international focus is integrated into these themes.The Gordon Research Conference is set up to allow for much interaction among participants between formal sessions, emphasizing research communication, professionalization, and networking. It also encourages the presentation of works-in-progress to facilitate collegial interaction and advice early in the research process. Junior scholars, post-docs, and graduate students are encouraged to attend and NSF is providing significant support for this purpose.

该项目由科学与社会、生物学和科学与创新政策项目资助，为2008年在蒙大拿州大天空举行的戈登科学与技术政策研究会议提供部分支持。今年会议的焦点是“管理新兴技术”。会议讨论的案例包括纳米技术、合成生物学和基因改造，以及认知和神经元技术的交叉。在演讲和海报环节中讨论了四个主要主题：1)对这些技术可能产生的各种转变的预期；2)与各种公众就支撑这些技术工作的价值观进行接触；(3)社会科学和人文探究与这些领域的科学技术工作相结合；4)实施各种治理机制，涵盖完全自由放任和高度干预方法之间的广泛范围。这些主题结合了国际焦点。戈登研究会议的设立是为了允许参与者在正式会议之间进行更多的互动，强调研究交流、专业化和网络化。它还鼓励展示正在进行的工作，以便在研究过程的早期促进学院互动和建议。鼓励初级学者、博士后和研究生参加，NSF为此目的提供重要支持。
