Implications of “Convergence” for How the National Center for Science And Engineering Statistics Measures the Science and Engineering Workforce – A Workshop

Completed

The goal of this workshop is to help NCSES set an agenda to inform its methodological research and improve its data collection programs to better measure and assess the implications of convergence for the science and engineering S&E workforce and enterprise. The event will bring together scientists from a variety of disciplines, as well as experts in science policy, university administrators, and other stakeholders, to review and provide input on defining convergence and measuring its impact on science and scientists. The workshop will help NCSES refine and prioritize its data collection and methodological research in this area.

Description

The Committee on National Statistics of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine proposes to hold a 2-day, open workshop to help the National Science Foundation's National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) set an agenda to inform its methodological research and improve its data collection programs to better measure and assess the implications of convergence for the science and engineering (S&E) workforce and the S&E enterprise. A planning committee will organize the workshop, which will bring together scientists from a variety of disciplines, as well as experts in science policy, university administrators, and other stakeholders, to review and provide input on defining convergence and measuring its impact on science and scientists. The resulting workshop will be oriented to help NCSES refine and prioritize its data collection and methodological research in this area. Proceedings of the workshop will be prepared y a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
