This award provides workshop support to foster collaboration between advanced manufacturing researchers in the Unites States and Italy. The advanced manufacturing landscape in both the U.S. and Italy shares many commonalities in terms of basic research portfolio, federal investments in research and infrastructural needs for next-generation manufacturing technology and process development. However, there exist limited venues through which U.S. and Italian researchers can interact to efficiently combine their complementary strengths and synergies, while minimizing significant overlap. To this end, the proposed workshop will bring together American and Italian researchers in advanced manufacturing to promote joint bilateral projects between the two countries, and make recommendations for best practices and mechanisms for efficient long-term collaborations between researchers from U.S. and Italy. The workshop is consistent with the NSF-ERC Implementing Arrangement signed by Dr. Suresh with the European Commission in July 2012, and will be held in Washington, DC, in June 2017. About 40 American and Italian researchers in advanced manufacturing, with expertise in broad research areas and from a range of different universities / research institutions, will attend the workshop. The objectives of the workshop include: (a) examining research needs in advanced manufacturing across a broad spectrum of technologies; (b) identifying best practices and opportunities for collaboration between researchers from these two countries; (c) formulating recommendations for future joint research initiatives and funded projects; (d) providing a forum through which researchers can network and build collaborations; and (e) identifying administrative, organizational, structural and cultural challenges / barriers that impede effective collaboration between American and Italian researchers.

该奖项提供研讨会支持，以促进美国和意大利先进制造研究人员之间的合作。美国和意大利的先进制造业格局在基础研究组合、联邦对研究的投资以及下一代制造技术和工艺开发的基础设施需求方面有许多共同点。然而，美国和意大利的研究人员能够有效地联合收割机结合其互补优势和协同作用，同时尽量减少重大重叠的场所有限。为此，拟议的研讨会将汇集美国和意大利先进制造业的研究人员，以促进两国之间的联合双边项目，并为美国和意大利研究人员之间的有效长期合作提出最佳实践和机制建议。该研讨会与Suresh博士于2012年7月与欧盟委员会签署的NSF-ERC实施安排一致，并将于2017年6月在华盛顿举行。来自一系列不同大学/研究机构的约40名美国和意大利先进制造领域的研究人员将参加研讨会，他们在广泛的研究领域拥有专业知识。讲习班的目标包括：（a）审查先进制造业在广泛的技术领域的研究需要;（B）确定这两个国家的研究人员之间合作的最佳做法和机会;（c）为今后的联合研究倡议和资助项目提出建议;（d）提供一个论坛，使研究人员能够建立网络和建立合作关系;以及（e）确定阻碍美国和意大利研究人员之间有效合作的行政、组织、结构和文化挑战/障碍。
