Abstract

On November 10, 2014, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) hosted a one-day conference and workshop to explore the various perspectives of science and technology (S&T) communication. The event brought together key stakeholders from across the government, industry, and academia, with two intended outcomes. The first was to illuminate a range of perspectives on the best ways to obtain support for S&T activities, and in particular those conducted in support of the Department of Defense. The second was to develop recommendations for steps that can be taken to further enhance S&T communication. This report provides a summary of the day’s discussion and the resulting recommendations.
