Conference on the History of Ukrainian Science to be held in Kiev, Ukraine in Spring 1998

该奖项支持将于1998年春在乌克兰基辅举行的关于乌克兰科学和技术史的讲习班。讲习班将进一步发展乌克兰的科学技术史，促进那里的民主化进程，并增进我们对苏联模式对科学组织和绩效的影响的理解。研讨会将汇集八位美国科学史学家和一群乌克兰学者，就乌克兰科学史发表原创研究论文。至关重要的是，乌克兰的参与者将利用这个机会获得以前被限制的档案，包括共产党、政府、科学院和研究机构的档案，这将使乌克兰的科学史受到前所未有的审视。该研讨会将促进美国和乌克兰学者之间的合作，并将促成乌克兰参与者发表大量论文。

This award supports a workshop on the history of Ukrainian science and technology, to be held in Kiev, Ukraine, in Spring 1998. The workshop will further development of the history of science and technology in Ukraine, contribute to the democratization process there, and increase our understanding of the impact of the Soviet model on the organization and performance of science. The workshop will bring together eight U.S. historians of science with a group of Ukrainian scholars to present original research papers on the history of Ukrainian science. Crucially, the Ukrainian participants will use the occasion to gain access to previously-restricted archives, including those of the Communist Party, the government, the Academy of Sciences, and research institutes, which opens the history of Ukrainian science to unprecedented scrutiny. The workshop will lead to increased collaboration between scholars in the U.S. and the Ukraine, and will result in a volume of papers to be published by the Ukrainian participants.
