This new workshop series is a component of the broader effort of the National Academies to support bilateral workshops and exchange visits in a variety of fields with a number of Iranian institutions that began in 2000. This book includes papers that were presented at the workshop and summaries of the discussions that followed some of the presentations. At the conclusion of the workshop there was general agreement that the presentations on many aspects of science and scientific cooperation that have a bearing on mutual understanding were an important first step. Several participants underscored that the next workshop should emphasize how scientific cooperation can lead in concrete terms to improved understanding among both academic and political leaders from the two countries. 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching$vCongresses 606 $aScience$xInternational cooperation 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aScience$xInternational cooperation. 676 $a507.1 701 $aSchweitzer$b Glenn E.$f1930-2023.$01803957 701 $aSobouti$b Yousef$01813271 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964303903321 996 $aScience as a gateway to understanding$94366208 997 $aUNINA
