{"product_id":"9781461443841","title":"Transatlantic Science and Technology: Opportunities for Real Cooperation Between Europe and the United States","description":"\u003cp\u003e​​​​​​Major societal challenges of a global nature include climate change, efficient energy supply, environmental sustainability, and health care. Science \u0026amp; Technology Policy (S\u0026amp;T) policy is an essential contributor to dealing with these challenges; moreover, international cooperation and collaboration in S\u0026amp;T is vital to tackling these issues, since no single nation or even region is able to respond adequately by itself. Within this context, this book addresses recent developments in transatlantic S\u0026amp;T cooperation between the European Union and the United States. The EU-U.S. relationship dates back to the 1950s, with regular EU-U.S. Summits to assess and develop transatlantic cooperation. In the area of S\u0026amp;T, the EU and U.S. concluded an S\u0026amp;T Cooperation Agreement in 1998, renewed it in 2004, and extended it for another five years in July 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe research underlying this study is based on interviews with key stakeholders in the field, with an emphasis on:\u003cbr\u003e• potential new opportunities and new mechanisms for increased transatlantic EU – U.S. S\u0026amp;T cooperation under current conditions\u003cbr\u003e• examples of coordinated “science diplomacy” efforts\u003cbr\u003e• options for the development of effective joint efforts.\u003cbr\u003eWhile the project is focused on European-U.S. relationships, it also addresses issues of international S\u0026amp;T cooperation involving other regions, including Africa and Asia. The author highlights the urgency of S\u0026amp;T cooperation to address global issues, and the evolving roles of government, universities and research centers, and industry, in promoting successful strategies and programs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030978085104,"sku":"9781461443841","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781461443841_p0.jpg?v=1763673967","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461443841","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
