NSF Tokyo Regional Office Fiftieth Anniversary Symposium

该奖项为2010年10月在东京举行的一个联合方案和为期三天的讲习班提供资金，以纪念国家科学基金会日本办事处成立50周年。 该研讨会将汇集美国和日本研究和教育领域的领导者，讨论共同感兴趣的话题，回顾过去合作的成就，并寻找继续开展联合活动的机会。研讨会的议题将包括科学政策以及生物学、地质学、海洋科学、物理科学、数学、信息技术和工程学等领域的关键研究主题。日本在科学方面的合作，并为今后的合作奠定基础。因此，它将把注意力集中在两国高度优先的研究领域。对过去活动的审查和相互讨论应查明合作、研究和教育的新机会。除了涉及特定研究领域的正式会议外，与会者还将进行非正式交流，包括实地访问和外联活动，以提高公众对科学的理解。

This award provides funding for a joint program and three-day workshop to be held in Tokyo in October 2010 to observe the fiftieth anniversary of the NSF office in Japan. The workshop will bring together leaders in research and education from the U.S. and Japan to discuss topics of common interest, to review accomplishments of past collaboration, and to identify opportunities for continuing joint activities. Topics on the agenda will encompass science policy as well as key research themes in biology, geology, ocean science, physical sciences, mathematics, information technology, and engineering.The purposes of the workshop are to recap past accomplishments of U.S.-Japan cooperation in science and to lay the basis for future collaborations. Accordingly it will focus attention on research areas of high priority for both countries. The review of past activities and mutual discussions should identify new opportunities for collaboration research and education. In addition to the formal sessions covering particular research areas the participants will engage in informal communication involving site visits and outreach activities to enhance public understanding of science.
