Scientific Knowledge Environment Symposium

本次研讨会将汇集大约30位领先的思想家和决策者，他们来自科学网络基础设施的几个相关领域，包括科学合作机构、网格计算和电子科学环境。其目标是将这些运动和社区的国际代表聚集在一起，以更好地建立相互认识和理解，并加速这些新环境的研究，开发和部署，以支持科学。一个相关的目标是阐明在这些努力中取得成功的技术和社会/组织先决条件。这一新生的运动对科学教育、人文教育和研究以及整个高等教育事业的未来都有着深远的影响。

This symposium will bring together about thirty leading thinkers and policy makers in several related areas of cyberinfrastructure for science, including scientific collaboratories, grid computing, and e-science environments. The goal is to bring together international representatives of these movements and communities to better create mutual awareness and understanding and to accelerate research, development, and deployment of these new environments to support science. A related objective is to articulate both the technical and social/organizational prerequisites for success in these endeavors. This nascent movement has profound implications for science education, for education and research in the humanities and for the future of the entire higher education enterprise.
