SBP: 2012 Science and Technology Policy Gordon Research Seminar

戈登科学与技术政策研究研讨会是研究生、博士后和其他具有相当经验和教育水平的科学家展示和交流新数据和前沿思想的独特论坛。经济学、科学与工程、科技政策、科学与技术研究领域的青年学者和实践者将介绍他们的工作。今年的GRS-STP是有史以来第一次由研究生组织，以配合成功的戈登科技政策会议系列；会议的主题是“科技政策的国际背景”。它将在新罕布什尔州沃特维尔举行的主要GRC的前两天举行。GRS旨在加强科学和技术政策学者的社区，它在几个方面实现了这一目标。首先，STS、经济学和科技政策等几个学科领域的初级学者有机会看到这些观点对其他人有什么帮助，并建立专业联系，帮助他们在专业发展过程中加强这些联系。其次，该领域的几位资深人士扮演着导师的角色，其中包括两位经济学家和两位政策学者。研讨会包括一个由从事科技政策研究或实践的应届毕业生组成的职业小组。最后，这次研讨会代表了比大多数戈登会议更高水平的多样性和包容性，包括多位组织者和演讲者是非裔美国人、拉丁裔和妇女，她们在科学和技术政策领域的代表性仍然不足。组织者积极与HBCU校园接触，以最大限度地提高代表性不足群体的参与，并在科学、技术和社会领域建立研究能力；经济学;和科学的科学创新政策。

The Gordon Research Seminar on Science & Technology Policy is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas. Junior scholars and practitioners in economics, science and engineering, science and technology policy, and science and technology studies will present their work. This year's GRS-STP is the first ever, organized by graduate students to accompany the successful series of Gordon Conferences on Science and Technology Policy; its theme is "The International Context of Science and Technology Policy". It will take place on the two days preceding the main GRC in Waterville, NH.The GRS is designed to strengthen the community of science and technology policy scholars, which it accomplishes in several ways. First, junior scholars in the several disciplinary areas of STS, economics, and science and technology policy have a chance to see what each of these perspectives has to offer the others and to make professional contacts that can help reinforce those connections as they develop professionally. Second, several senior figures in the field play mentor roles, including two economists and two policy scholars. The seminar includes a career panel of recent graduates who have gone into science and technology policy research or practice. Finally, this seminar represents a significantly higher level of diversity and inclusion than most Gordon Conferences, including multiple organizers and speakers who are African American and Latino and women, who are still under-represented in science and technology policy as a field. The organizers have reached out actively to HBCU campuses to maximize the participation of underrepresented groups and to build research capacity in the areas of science, technology, and society; economics; and the science of science and innovation policy.
