WANTED: NEXT GENERATION OF S&T POLICY LEADERS
The Center for Science, Policy, & Outcomes (CSPO) announces the “Research Symposium with the Next Generation of Leaders in Science and Technology Policy,” to be held in Washington, DC on November 22 and 23, 2002. This conference is a joint project of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, and CSPO.
In supporting the newest leaders in science and technology policy, the program committee is accepting proposals for papers from scholars and practitioners who have received their terminal degree no earlier than 1995, as well as those who have completed all degree requirements with the exception of a thesis (ABD or equivalent). Two papers will be chosen to represent eight themes in science and technology policy, as described in the attached proposal request. Authors whose proposals are accepted will receive travel funding to attend the workshop and will be given an honorarium of $750 upon presentation of a completed paper, which will be published in a multi-authored volume from the Symposium.
The Symposium is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. SES-0135170. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
