Planning Conference on New Initiatives in Pan-American Scientific Collaboration: Washington, D.C. 1993

这一美洲计划奖将支持美国科学促进会组织的一次会议，目的是规划扩大美洲地区科学和技术合作的倡议。这次会议定于1993年5月28日至29日在华盛顿特区举行，将聚集西半球科学和工程界的主要领导人，审查西半球这些国家的研究需求和机会新兴的科技能力，并确定新的或加强的区域科学和技术合作对实现解决办法特别有用的问题领域。大约三分之二的与会者将来自拉丁美洲，提醒来自加拿大和美国。会议将讨论特定研究领域的共同目标：科学教育和科学交流、科学交流网络、建立泛美科学基金会的可能性、以及非政府科学和工程协会的作用。会议成果将通过出版的报告、在国际会议上的陈述和其他方式传播。

This Americas Program award will support a meeting organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science for the purpose of planning initiatives to expand regional science and technology cooperation in the Americas. The conference, scheduled to take place in Washington, DC on May 28-29, 1993, will get together key leaders from the science and engineering communities of the western hemisphere to review the needs and opportunities for research in those nations of the hemisphere with emerging science and technology capabilities, and identify problem areas where new or enhanced regional scientific and technology collaboration would be especially useful in achieving solutions. Approximately two thirds of conference participants will be from Latin America, with the reminder coming from Canada and the United States. The conference will address common goals in specific fields of research: science education and scientific exchanges, scientific communication networks, the possibility of a Pan American Science Foundation, and the role of non-governmental science and engineering associations. Conference results will be disseminated through a published report, presentations at international meetings, and other means.
