Don't miss this presentation by Dr. E. William Colglazier, Science and Technology 
Adviser to the Secretary of State and former UT Physics professor and director of 
the Energy, Environment and Resources Center (1983-91).

Dr. Colglazier will speak on science and diplomacy, sponsored by the Office of 
Research and Engagement and the Baker Center. 

Science and technology have become even more important assets for diplomacy.  
Nearly every country has been convinced that it must engage on a world-class 
level in science and technology and become more innovative in this highly 
competitive and interconnected world.   As a consequence, science diplomacy 
becomes an important mechanism to help build more knowledge and innovation-
based societies and to help spread scientific values, including meritocracy and 
transparency, that support democracy.

Dr. Colglazier is the former Executive Officer of the National Academy of Sciences 
and National Research Council (1994-2011) as well.  The program is free and open 
to the public.  Students interested in science policy and diplomacy are highly 
encouraged to attend!
