This book reviews important aspects of the science engagement program, including: (a) objectives of the program, (b) opportunities and constraints in developing the program, and (c) scientific and political impacts of the activities. Suggestions for future activities that draw on the conclusions and recommendations that have emerged from workshops and other types of interactions are set forth. Of course, the political turmoil within Iran and uncertainties as to the direction of U.S.-Iran government-to-government relations will undoubtedly complicate initiation and implementation of new science engagement activities in the near term. At the same time, many American and Iranian participants and important government officials in the United States and Iran have believed that science engagement can contribute to the evolution of an improved political environment for development of less adversarial relations between the two governments."--$cSource other than Library of Congress. 606 $aScience$zUnited States$xInternational cooperation 606 $aScience$zIran$xInternational cooperation 606 $aEngineering$zUnited States$xInternational cooperation 606 $aEngineering$zIran$xInternational cooperation 606 $aMedical sciences$zUnited States$xInternational cooperation 606 $aMedical sciences$zIran$xInternational cooperation 615 0$aScience$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aScience$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aEngineering$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aEngineering$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aMedical sciences$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aMedical sciences$xInternational cooperation. 676 $a338.926 700 $aSchweitzer$b Glenn E.$f1930-$01473779 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bOffice for Central Europe and Eurasia. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791775303321 996 $aU.S.-Iran engagement in science, engineering, and health (2000-2009)$93786489 997 $aUNINA
