Maintaining U.S. Leadership in Engineering and Science

这个项目提供国际技术评估和有关的规划讲习班支助。1989年以来，技评中心及其前身进行了60多次这种技术评估。目标包括寻求技术转移到美国，评估美国科学技术相对于主要竞争对手的地位，以及寻求国际研究合作的机会。该项目规定进行四项或更多的额外国际研究和报告结果，以及在与国际技术评价有关的领域举办一次或更多讲习班。研究结果将在研讨会上传播，包括以硬拷贝形式分发并在网上发布的视觉教具副本，每次学术考察的最终报告（以硬拷贝、CD和网络媒体形式），以及至少一份关于交叉研究结果的综合报告。将发表一个关于国际标准普尔政策的博客来报告进展情况。

This project provides for international technology assessments and related planning workshop support. WTEC and its predecessors have conducted over 60 such technology assessments since 1989. The objectives include seeking technologies to transfer to the U.S., evaluating the position of U.S. science and technology with respect to leading competitors, and seeking opportunities for international cooperation in research. The project provides for four or more additional international studies and reporting of the results, plus one or more workshops in area related to international technology assessments. Results will be disseminated at workshops including copies of visual aids distributed in hardcopy and posted on the Web, final reports from each study tour of academic quality in hardcopy, CD, and Web media, plus at least one synthesis report on cross-cutting findings. A blog on international S&T policy will be published to report progress.
