The State of the Science Address

Abstract

The first State of the Science address explores how U.S. science and innovation are positioned to respond to rising global competition and shifting priorities for the nation’s economy, security, public health, and well-being. The event brought together leaders in science and research, technology and innovation, policymaking, government, industry, and philanthropy to explore what actions may be needed to chart a course toward a more nimble, more robust U.S. science and technology enterprise that is ready to meet the nation’s current challenges and make vital advances in the future.
