The Local and the Global: A Workshop for the Rising Generation of 
Science, Engineering, and Technology Policy Professionals

April 12-14, 2002
AAAS Auditorium
1200 New York Ave., NW
Washington, DC

The emerging field of science, engineering, and technology (SE&T) policy has become a recognizable profession in recent years.  As the interaction between science and government intensifies, the need for an SE&T policy workforce equipped with the tools and training necessary to negotiate this relationship is greater than ever.  

The purpose of this event is to better acquaint current and prospective SE&T policy professionals with the practice and opportunities of this emerging profession.  This will be accomplished through a blend of plenary and breakout sessions led by seasoned SE&T professionals, and sessions devoted to the presentation of scholarly papers on timely SE&T policy issues.  Students, young professionals, and recent graduates interested in science, engineering, and technology policy as a career or field of study are encouraged to attend.
 
The Workshop is free of charge and will start Friday evening with a networking reception where participants will have an opportunity to meet established members as well as the rising generation of the SE&T policy community.

This event is open to the public and is scheduled so that participants can also attend the 27th Annual AAAS Colloquium on Science and Technology Policy (www.aaas.org/spp/colloquium) April 11-12.  The Workshop represents a blending of the 2nd annual AAAS Workshop on Science and Technology Policy Careers and the Graduate Student Conference on Contexts in Science and Technology.
