2000 Meeting of the Interciencia Association in Washington, DC

2000年科学家协会会议将为来自西半球20个国家的科学组织的代表提供一个会面和讨论其最新成就和可能的合作工作的机会。 这项活动还将支持这些代表参加在华盛顿举行的下一届美国科学促进协会年会。 美国科学促进会年会将是2000年美国最重要的科学活动。 拟议活动的主要成果将是与国际科学家和科学记者进行有价值的个人互动，以及提高科学家协会及其科学期刊的知名度。 认识到这些活动将是对美洲科学合作的重大贡献，美国科学促进会和美洲国家组织（美洲组织）已经为支持这一活动作出了重大的财政承诺。

INT-0080726RatchfordThe 2000 Meeting of the Interciencia Association will provide representative from scientific organizations in 20 countries of the Western Hemisphere with the opportunity to meet and discuss their latest achievements and possible collaborative work. This event will also support the participation of these representatives in the next Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in Washington, DC. The AAAS Annual Meeting will be the premier scientific event in the US during the year 2000. Principal outcomes of the proposed activities would be both valuable personal interactions with international scientists and science reporters and an increased visibility for the Interciencia Association and its scientific journal. Recognizing that these activities would represent a significant contribution to scientific collaboration in the Americas, AAAS and the Organization of American States (OAS) have already made a significant financial commitment to support the event.
