National Summit on Science, Technology and Sustainable Economic Growth

该讲习班将讨论科学、技术和经济之间的联系。这些会议将邀请物理科学家、经济学家、科学政策专家和其他对这些关键问题感兴趣的团体参加。要解决的一些问题包括：科学和技术对经济增长的影响有哪些显著特点？这些经验教训如何应用于美国经济当前面临的结构性问题和未来的经济增长？为实现能源和环境可持续性，必须应对哪些关键的科学和技术挑战？政策框架如何最大限度地发挥科技投资在支持可持续经济增长方面的效力？首脑会议将通过一系列活动完成其目标，包括2010年和2011年春季的首脑会议全体会议以及在此期间举行重点更突出的讲习班。

This workshop will discuss the linkages between science, technology and the economy. These meetings will engage physical scientists, economists, science policy experts and other interested groups on these critical issues. Some of the questions to be addressed include: What have been the distinguishing characteristics of science and technology influences on economic growth? How can these lessons be applied to current structural issues facing the U.S. economy and future economic growth? What are the key science and technology challenges that must be addressed to achieve energy and environmental sustainability? How would the policy framework maximize the effectiveness of science and technology investments in supporting sustainable economic growth? The Summit will complete its objectives with a series of events, including plenary Summit meetings in Spring 2010 and 2011 and more focused workshops in the interim.
