Interdisciplinarity Revisited: Materials Research as the Case Study, University Park, PA, August 30-31, 1999

计划于1999年8月30-31日在宾夕法尼亚州立大学召开一次名为“跨学科重现：材料研究作为个案研究”的会议，计划邀请约200人参加，他们来自不同的机构和研究领域，包括研究领导者、管理者、教育工作者和政策制定者。会议的目标是将材料研究作为跨学科的“最佳”范例，以检验资助机构，特别是国家科学基金会，自20世纪70年代初以来在支持这类研究方面做得如何。希望在这次会议上，“资深科学家将对他们的经验进行评估，并为今后的研究和教学提供反思性的指导。”会议的成果将以各种形式公布，并应对材料界和供资机构有用。%拟于1999年8月30-31日在宾夕法尼亚州立大学召开一次题为“跨学科重现：材料研究作为个案研究”的会议。计划邀请约200人参加，他们来自不同的机构和研究领域，包括研究领导者、管理者、教育工作者和政策制定者。会议的目标是将材料研究作为跨学科的“最佳”范例，以检验资助机构，特别是国家科学基金会，自20世纪70年代初以来在支持这类研究方面做得如何。希望在这次会议上，“资深科学家将对他们的经验进行评估，并为今后的研究和教学提供反思性的指导。”会议的成果将以各种形式公布，并应对材料界和供资机构有用。***

It is proposed to convene a conference entitled "Interdisciplinarity Revisited: Materials Research as the Case Study" to be held August 30-31, 1999 at Penn State University.About 200 people are planned to be invited with representation from a large variety of institutions, research areas, including research leaders, managers, educators, and policy makers. The goal of the conference is to use materials research as the "best" example of interdisciplinarity to examine how well funding agencies, particularly NSF have fared in supporting this type of research since the early 1970s. It is hoped that in the conference "senior scientists will evaluate their experiences and provide reflective guidance for improving the direction of future research, and teaching." The outcome of the conference will be published in various forms and should be useful to the materials community and funding agencies. %%%It is proposed to convene a conference entitled "Interdisciplinarity Revisited: Materials Research as the Case Study" to be held August 30-31, 1999 at Penn State University.About 200 people are planned to be invited with representation from a large variety of institutions, research areas, including research leaders, managers, educators, and policy makers.
