A Workshop on How to Create Lasting Relationships Among Computer Scientists and Social Scientists: What Works and What Doesn't

在过去三年里，SATC项目资助了大约50个研究项目，让社会科学家和计算机科学家在新的合作中走到一起，这两位科学家以前从未在一起进行过研究。这些项目是通过一系列NSF亲爱的同事来信邀请的。这次研讨会汇集了来自这些项目的研究人员，为期1.5天的研讨会(计划于2016年初在华盛顿特区地区举行)，将包括个人陈述和小组讨论。研讨会参与者将探讨这些项目成功的衡量标准和挑战，如跨学科合作的体制障碍、出版障碍以及吸引和留住学生的困难。与会者还将确定值得进一步合作的领域，以及通过传统提案/招标提交和获得资金的障碍。结果将被记录在一份公开的书面报告中，该报告定义了从混合学科中吸取的经验教训，并对未来鼓励这种跨学科合作的努力提出了建议。

Over the past three years, the SaTC program has funded about 50 research projects bringing together social scientists and computer scientists in new collaborations, where the two scientists had not previously performed research together. These projects were invited through a series of NSF Dear Colleague Letters. This workshop brings together researchers from these projects, for a 1.5 day workshop (to be scheduled in early calendar 2016 in the Washington DC area) that will include a mixture of individual presentations and group discussions. The workshop participants will explores measures of success and challenges in doing these projects like institutional barriers for interdisciplinary collaboration, barriers for publication, and difficulty in attracting and retaining students. The participants will also identify areas where further collaborations would be worthwhile, and barriers to submitting and being funded via traditional proposals/solicitations. The outcomes will be documented in a public written report that defines lessons learned from mixing the disciplines, and suggestions for future efforts to encourage such cross-disciplinary collaboration.
