Support for the IGU Commission on Industrial Change Conference; Orlando, Florida; August 1992

地理学家和其他科学家将相当多的注意力集中在经济活动结构和地点最近的戏剧性变化上。由于这些变化的一个主要方面是更复杂的国际互联的发展，研究特定地区动态经济地理的研究人员越来越多地发现，他们与外国同行的合作更加密切。国际地理联盟的工业变化委员会一直是一个重要的组织，帮助不同国家的地理学家将研究活动联系起来，并制定合作研究项目。1992年8月，该委员会将在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行为期五天的会议，会上将提交研究报告，制定未来活动计划，并研究佛罗里达州中部的高科技工业运营。会议论文集将使没有出席会议的科学家能够直接受益于会议的介绍和审议。该奖项提供部分支持，以协助该会议的规划和运作。这次会议将召集地理学家和相关科学家分享他们对一个重要主题的当前观点和见解。除了将世界各地相对较少有机会进行集中、面对面讨论的学者聚集在一起外，该项目还将为确定基础研究的新方向和发展国际合作研究项目提供机会。

Geographers and other scientists have focused considerable attention on dramatic recent changes in the structure and location of economic activities. Because a major dimension of those changes has been the development of more complex international interconnections, researchers examining the dynamic economic geographies of specific regions increasingly have found themselves working more closely with colleagues in foreign nations. The International Geographical Union's Committee on Industrial Change has been an important organization helping geographers in different nations to relate research activities and to develop collaborative research projects. In August 1992, this committee will meet in Orlando, Florida, for a five-day meeting at which research papers will be presented, plans for future activities will be made, and high-technology industrial operations in central Florida will be studied. A conference proceedings will enable scientists not in attendance at the conference to benefit directly from its presentations and deliberations. This award provide partial support to assist in the planning and operations of that meeting. This conference will convene geographers and related scientists to share their current perspectives and insights about an important topic. In addition to bringing together scholars from across the globe who have had relatively little opportunity for focused, face-to-face discussions, the project also will provide opportunities for identification of new lines of basic research and for development of international collaborative research projects.
