Responding to the Challenges of the 21st Century
This seminar examines the science and technology policy apparatus and the challenges it faces in this century, providing Federal managers with an enhanced ability to understand, anticipate, and respond to those challenges in their agencies. Selected issues of national and international importance are used as vehicles to address policy development and implementation of science and technology policies.
In addition, the seminar looks at both the formal and informal institutions that influence science and technology policy, in the executive branch, Congress, special interest groups and the press, and what directions that policy may take in the future.
The seminar looks at both policy for science (how we generate and implement Federal policy governing science) as well as science for policy (the role of scientific knowledge in public policy debate and design). The seminar typically addresses the following themes: allocation issues and setting priorities, technology transfer and the policy issues that it raises, differential time horizons for politics and for science, increasing scientific complexity and the problem of public education, making policy under scientific uncertainties, the role of the scientist as public servant, and comparative decisionmaking between politics and science.
