[Ken Berlack]

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?
