NFAIS Half-Day Virtual Workshop – Can funding for R&D be separated
from political agendas?
Date: Monday, July 31, 2017
Time: 10:00 am – 2:00 pm EDT
Location: Virtual
Registration: https://nfais.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=531330
====================================================================
What's the focus?
NFAIS intends to tackle the rarely addressed subject of R&D, STEM, and
Humanities funding in light of the vagaries brought about by changes
in government policies. The near-current advent of Brexit coupled
with the new U.S. administration creates a palatable fear among
researchers around the globe. Will funding for R&D align with
political positions? And how will government agencies manage public
expectations, priorities, and ideologies?
What real impacts have these recent developments already had on
research funding, what might come about in the near future, and which
of these might be expected to impact scholarly communications in the
long run?
During this half-day workshop our presenters from both sides of the
Atlantic will take on these tough questions:
· Will funding for R&D align with political positions?
· How will government agencies manage public expectations,
priorities, and idealogies?
· What real impacts have these recent developments already had
on research funding?
· What might come about in the near future?
· · And which of these might be expected to impact
scholarly communications in the long run?
