B36.00001: George Washington University Visa Project--Streamlining Our Visa and Immigration Systems for Scientists and Engineers Invited Speaker: Albert H. Teich Many scientists believe that current U.S. visa and immigration systems are out of sync with today's increasingly globalized science and technology. This talk will highlight specific proposals that would facilitate the recruitment of promising STEM students by U.S. universities and better enable international scientists and engineers to visit the United States for scientific conferences and research collaboration. Most of these proposals could be implemented without additional resources and without compromising U.S. security. The talk is based on the results of an 18 month study conducted at the George Washington University's Center for International Science \& Technology Policy. [Preview Abstract] |
