New Challenges Posed by Global Interdepdenence -- 6th Biennial Student Pugwash USA Conference on Science, Technology, and Ethical Responsibility, June, 1989

该奖项为一个国际会议和大学中有关科学、技术和伦理责任的国际会议和相关项目提供部分支持。这些项目的主题是“全球相互依存带来的新挑战”。他们将在四个领域研究全球相互依存带来的伦理和价值问题：环境科学、生物工程、信息科学和全球安全。这次会议将汇集来自不同学科和国家的90名优秀学生，以及学术界、政府、行业和非营利组织中不同视角的领导人。与会者将准备研究论文，并在学术和专业期刊上发表，这些论文将作为会议一周期间工作组小组讨论的焦点。会议还将以国家人物的全会为特色。与这次会议一起，目前活跃在43个学院和大学校园的学生帕格沃什分会将赞助关于全球相互依存问题的教育活动--研讨会、圆桌会议、讲座、辩论和正在进行的电子会议。将制定和进行一项评估。私人基金会和企业赞助商将为这一努力提供超过三分之二的资金。这项活动的范围和组织是非常有价值的；它已经发展成为一项真正独特的全国性、甚至国际性的关于科学、工程和社会责任的学生教育努力。机构赞助商有着良好的记录。已经收到并将继续从几个公司和私人基金会获得相应的支助。这是第一次将校园分会项目与大会联系起来，目前正在计划进行评估。这些项目组成部分有很大的潜力来加强和改进这一非常成功的努力。提供了128772美元的支助。

This award provides partial support for an international conference and related projects at colleges and universities on isses in science, technology, and ethical responsibility. The theme of these projects is "New Challenges Posed by Global Interdependence." They will examine ethical and value issues raised by global interdependence in four areas: environmental science, bioengineering, information science, and global security. The conference will bring ninety outstanding students from diverse disciplines and nations together with leaders of varying perspectives in academia, government, industry, and non- profit organizations. Conference participants will prepare research papers, to be published in academic and professional journals, which will serve as the focus of small working group discussions during the week of the conference. The conference will also feature plenaries by national figures. In conjunction with the conference, Student Pugwash chapters, currently active on forty-three college and university campuses, will sponsor educational events -- symposia, roundtables, lectures, debates, and an ongoing electronic conference -- on issues in global interdependence. An evaluation will be developed and conducted. Private foundation and corporate sponsors will provide over two- thirds of the funds for this effort. The scope and organization of this activity are highly meritorious; it has evolved into a truly unique national, even international, student educational effort on science, engineering and social responsibility. The institutional sponsor has an excellent track record. Matching support has been received and will continue to be received from several corporate and private foundations. For the first time, a campus chapter program has been linked to the conference, and an evaluation is being planned. These project components have great potential to augment and improve what has been a very successful endeavor. Support in the amount of $128,772 is awarded.
