Forum on the
Role of Science and Technology in Promoting National Security and Global Stability March 29-30, 1995
This forum sought open discussion of our
nation's ability to most effectively organize and use our science and
technology enterprise to support:
Defense Policy
-- enhancing national security through investment and
cooperation in defense science and technology.
Nonproliferation of
weapons of mass destruction -- reducing the threat of
proliferation through cooperation and improved monitoring, assessment and prevention.
Economic prosperity -- strengthening
the contribution of investments in science and technology to advancing
U.S. participation in global markets.
Sustainable development
-- strengthening the capacity of societies to
achieve economic stability and growth without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs; mitigating physical and
societal stresses that contribute to civil conflict.
