Workshop: US-Germany Collaborative Research in Advanced Manufacturing II; Alexandria, Virginia; June 2019

该奖项为美国国家科学基金会和德国研究基金会研讨会提供部分支持，以促进美国和德国之间的合作研究。美国和德国都有充满活力的制造业，普遍的技术扩散和高工资。两国在技术成熟度、高科技产品开发和先进制造业活动方面都处于世界领先地位。这两个国家对科学和工程研究都有强有力的支持，并且在资助的研究组合之间存在显著的重叠和协同作用。虽然存在潜在的合作领域，但能够确定互惠互利的研究主题的场所很少。这次讲习班的成果也有助于促进两国在其他领域的合作。该研讨会将于2019年6月在美国东海岸举行。各国将有约15-20名先进制造业研究人员参加研讨会。研讨会的目标是：1)修订在2016年2月举行的NSF/DFG研讨会上确定的先进制造业的研究需求。修改先进制造业面临的需求、差距和挑战。3)确定参与美德合作项目的两国研究人员观察到的最佳合作实践和后勤挑战。4)为扩大和正式确定未来的联合研究计划提出建议。5)为来自美国和德国的研究人员提供一个交流和发展未来合作的论坛。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides partial support for an NSF and German Research Foundation workshop to foster collaborative research between the United States and Germany. Both the United States and Germany have vibrant manufacturing sectors, pervasive technology proliferation, and high wages. Both countries rank among the world leaders for technological sophistication, high technology product development and advanced manufacturing activity. Both countries have strong support for scientific and engineering research, and there are significant overlap and synergies between the funded research portfolios. While there are potential areas for collaboration, there are few venues where research topics that are mutually beneficial can be identified. Results of this workshop can also be useful to fostering collaborations between the two countries in other fields. The workshop will be held on the east coast of the United States in June 2019. About 15-20 advanced manufacturing researchers from each country will participate in the workshop. The objectives of the workshop are to: 1) Revise research needs in advanced manufacturing as identified at the NSF/DFG Workshop held in February 2016. 2) Revise needs, gaps, and challenges facing advanced manufacturing. 3) Identify best practices of collaboration, and logistical challenges as observed by researchers in both countries engaged in U.S.- German collaborative projects. 4) Formulate recommendations for expanding and formalizing future joint research initiatives. 5) Provide a forum for researchers from the US and Germany to network and develop future collaborations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
