In this seminar, experts from Technology Policy International, which is a consultancy in the U.S. science and technology (S&T) policy, will give presentations on the dual-use technology development in the U.S., especially focusing on a role of U.S. defense community in development of commercial technologies. Then, they will give a speech on current S&T policy debate in the U.S.. Growing tensions between President Obama and the scientific community, on one side, and Congressional Republicans, and debate on the funding cuts for social science research, geosciences/climate change, and international big projects will be reported and discussed. In the final sessions, the panelists and participants will discuss these issues in an interactive manner.
We look forward to your confirmed participation.
