U.S.-EC Biotechnology Research Task Force, Workshop on Communicating Biotechnology with the Public, March 22-25, 1992 in Dublin, Ireland

为1992年3月22日至25日在爱尔兰都柏林举行的美国-欧共体生物技术研究工作组与公众交流生物技术研讨会申请资金。讲习班的目的是就美国政府(USG)和欧洲共同体委员会(EC)如何改进与公众关于生物技术的对话提出一套切实可行的建议。被选为参与者的40名专业科学传播者(20名美国人和20名欧共体人)都拥有与公众就生物技术问题进行沟通的第一手经验。根据专家们的经验，讲习班将就(1)如何准确评估公众意见，(2)如何在政府实体和公众之间建立信息流动，(3)政府机构、科学家、公共利益团体、教育工作者和媒体在科学传播中的作用提出建议，以及(4)如何评价沟通努力的成败。研讨会的建议将于1982年10月提交给美国-欧共体生物技术研究特别工作组。

Funds are requested for a U.S.-EC Biotechnology Research Task Force, Workshop on Communicating Biotechnology with the Public, March 22-25, 1992 in Dublin, Ireland. The purpose of the workshop is to generate a set of practical recommendations on how the United States Government (USG) and the Commission of the European Communities (EC) can improve their dialogues with the public about biotechnology. The forty professional science communicators (20 U.S. and 20 EC) selected as participants all have first-hand experience in communicating with the public on biotechnology issues. Drawing on the experience of the experts, the workshop will generate recommendations on (1) how to accurately assess public opinion, (2) how to establish a flow of information between (to and from) governmental entities and the public, (3) the role of government institutions, scientists, public interest groups, educators and the media in science communications, and (4) how to evaluate the success or failure of communication efforts. The recommendations of the workshop will be presented to the U.S.-EC Task Force on Biotechnology Research in October 1982.
