The Student Pugwash USA Global Issues Project

美国学生帕格沃什是一个全国性的教育非营利组织，总部设在华盛顿特区，致力于在年轻人中建立一种承诺，将社会关切融入他们的学术、职业和个人生活中。帕格沃什组织通过各种跨学科活动，侧重于培养领导力和互动学习，教育年轻人科学和技术与他们自己的生活的相关性，以及它塑造全球社会未来的能力。该奖项部分是为了支持这些活动的三个重要组成部分：1)协调一个关于科学和技术主题的国际会议，2)出版一本供大学生和高中教师使用的科学、技术和社会(STS)指南，以及3)支持一个分会计划，该计划每年协调近150个地方校园活动。更具体地说，根据这一奖项，帕格沃什将与国际武器贸易、新出现的传染病、替代能源、接入和互联网、水质和可获得性以及公众参与科学决策等工作组协调召开一次关于“科学、技术和伦理优先事项”的国际会议。其次，它将编辑和制作由此产生的全球问题指南，该指南将由国际会议与会者和其他学生编写。第三，帕格沃什将在高中教师、全国学生组织以及全国高中、大学和大学校园的22个学生帕格沃什美国分会/联系人中传播和实施全球问题指南。

Student Pugwash USA , a national, educational, non-profit organization based in Washington DC is dedicated to building a commitment among young people to integrate social concerns into their academic, professional, and personal lives. The Pugwash organization, through a variety of interdisciplinary activities, focuses on leadership development and interactive learning, educating young people on the relevance of science and technology to their own lives, and on its ability to shape the future of the global community. This award is in partial support of three important components of these activities: 1) the coordination of an international conference on science and technology themes, 2) the publication of a resultant Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Guidebook for use by university students and high school teachers, and 3) the support of a Chapter Program which coordinates nearly 150 local campus-based events each year. More specifically, under this award, Pugwash will coordinate an international conference on `Science, Technology, and Ethical Priorities` with working groups in International Weapons Trade; Emerging Infectious Diseases; Alternative Energy Sources; Access and the Internet; Water Quality and Availability; and Public Participation in Scientific Decision-making. Second, it will edit and produce the resulting Global Issues Guidebook, which will be authored by the International Conference Participants and other students. Third, Pugwash will disseminate and implement the Global Issues Guidebook among high school teachers, national student organizations, and over 22 Student Pugwash USA chapters/contacts on high school, college, and university campuses nationwide.
