In Science Policy Roundtable #3, we convene distinguished leaders from both U.S. and international governments to examine the evolving role of the state in shaping national science and technology enterprises. This talk will offer a unique comparative perspective as we draw on Dr. Kreibich’s extensive diplomatic experience within Germany’s Federal Foreign Office and the German Missions to the United States, Mr. Koizumi’s tenure as Assistant Director for Federal R&D at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, as well as Dr. Fadel’s background across government, industry, foundations, and academia. Together, our speakers will explore topics such as federal funding mechanisms for public research, the role of diplomatic missions in advancing national technology priorities, and how leading technology nations design and implement their R&D strategies.
Date: December 5 (Friday), 12-1:30pm
Location: in-person at MIT, announced after RSVP;
Lunch will be provided for in-person participants. We will consider a Zoom/virtual option given sufficient interest.
