Transforming Security Research Workshop

该研讨会汇集了参与2008年国防部密涅瓦研究计划资助的国家安全相关项目的主要研究人员；美国国家科学基金会国家安全、冲突与合作竞赛；Minerva Research Chairs；以及通过RCUK全球不确定性计划资助的研究员。研讨会的目标是调查研究项目之间的共性，确定是否有有趣的机会可以在不同的研究方法之间建立或建立桥梁，并确定潜在的突破，以及在不断发展的安全研究领域中前进的障碍，特别是长期的，转型的机会。研讨会的智力价值和更广泛的影响是显著的。该活动将深入了解哪些方法或方法组合最适合解决与政策直接相关的安全问题，可能产生合作，其结果将对安全政策和实践产生直接影响，并将鼓励跨大西洋在安全相关工作方面的合作

This workshop brings together Principal Investigators involved in national security relevant projects funded through the 2008 DoD Minerva Research Initiative; the NSF National Security, Conflict and Cooperation (NSCC) competition; Minerva Research Chairs; and Fellows funded through the RCUK Global Uncertainties Programme. The objectives of the workshop are to investigate the commonalities between research programs, determine whether there are interesting opportunities that may build or bridge between differing research methodologies and identify potential breakthroughs, and barriers to advancement in the evolving field of security research, particularly longer term, transformational opportunities..The intellectual merit and broader impacts of the workshop are significant. The activity will produce insights into what methodologies or combinations of methodologies are most appropriate to address security questions of direct policy relevance, may spawn collaborations the outcomes of which will have direct implications for security policy and practice, and will encourage cross-Atlantic collaboration in security-related efforts
