6th Open Meeting of the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change Research Community; Bonn, Germany, October 2005

自1995年以来，国际社会举行了关于全球变化的人类层面研究的公开会议。2005年公开会议将于2005年10月在德国波恩举行。在过去的十年中，HDGC公开会议的规模和地位不断扩大，吸引了来自60个国家的500多名科学参与者，他们会面交流当前的研究、教学和外展；鼓励建立人际关系；并吸引其他以前没有参与人类维度研究的自然和社会科学家。公开会议的另一个主要功能是将来自发展中国家的不同年龄的研究人员和来自美国和欧洲的初级学者聚集在一起，否则他们将无法与资深科学家一起参加重大的国际会议。第6次公开会议将重点讨论来自国际人文维度规划（IHDP）四个核心项目的关键研究主题，该领域的领导人将积极参与。它将侧重于通过探索性会议确定差距和新兴的未来研究领域，并将促进初级研究人员参与集体研究项目，以加强人的维度研究网络。该奖项为IHDP秘书处提供支持，该秘书处正在与广泛的HDGC研究人员协调，帮助计划、组织和举办第六届公开会议。HDGC第6次公开会议的收益应与前5次会议所作的贡献类似。通过促进发达国家和发展中国家的科学家之间更大的互动，这次会议将促进各种科学交流，包括共享数据和技术以及在联合研究方面的合作，从而增强对全球进程的理解。通过让更多来自发展中国家的研究人员参与这个充满活力的研究界，这次公开会议将加强发展中国家继续进行人的维度研究的基础。通过将来自不同学科的学者聚集在一起，公开会议将为实际的相互交流创造重要的机会。公开会议将有助于培养下一代人类维度研究人员。最后，这次公开会议将汇集来自许多国家的许多学者，从而为寻求将研究团队聚集在一起的具有成本效益的方法的学者团队提供相当大的后勤援助。

Since 1995, open meetings of the international community conducting research on the human dimensions of global change (HDGC) have been held. The 2005 open meeting will be conducted in Bonn, Germany, in October 2005. Over the last decade, HDGC open meetings have grown in size and stature to attract more than 500 scientific participants from 60 countries who meet to exchange about current research, teaching, and outreach; to encourage networking; and to attract other natural and social scientists not previously involved in human dimensions research. An additional major function of the open meetings has been to bring together researchers of a range of ages from developing countries and junior scholars from the U.S. and Europe, who otherwise would not be able to participate in a major international conference alongside senior scientists. The 6th open meeting will include a strong focus on key research themes derived from the four core projects of International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP) with active participation of leaders in the field. It will focus on the identification of gaps and emerging future areas of research by exploratory sessions, and it will promote the integration of junior researchers in collective research projects in order to strengthen the human dimensions research network. This award provides support to the IHDP Secretariat, which is helping to plan, organize, and conduct the 6th open meeting in coordination with a broad range of HDGC researchers.The benefits from the 6th HDGC open meeting should be similar to the kinds of contributions made during the five previous meetings. By promoting greater interaction among researchers from developed and developing countries, the meeting will foster the kinds of scientific exchange, including the sharing data and techniques and collaborating on joint research, that enhances understanding of global processes. By engaging additional researchers from developing countries in this vibrant research community, the open meeting will strengthen the basis for continued human dimensions research within developing countries. By bringing together scholars from different disciplines, the Open Meeting will create significant opportunities for tangible cross-fertilization. The open meetings will help to foster the next generation of human dimensions researchers. Finally, the open meeting will bring together many scholars from many countries, thereby providing a considerable logistical aid to teams of scholars seeking cost-effective ways to bring research teams together.
