Purpose of this page

People involved
- Session organizers: Brian Wee, Bill Teng
- Presenter: Brian Wee
- Provocateurs: Steve Young, Arika Virapongse
Goals of the tutorial
- Gain awareness of the science, technology, and policy (STP) landscape. In the course of your S&T work, you might recognize landmarks and wander on over to investigate.
- Provide a broad sketch of the STP landscape for you to investigate further if you're trying to effect change.
Three takeaway points
- Individuals can incorporate their science and technology expertise in policy by getting in contact with the public policy staff of your respective professional societies.
- ESIP may wish to explore how to highlight and communicate the potential contribution of its science and technology constituents to policy.
- Although the meeting session focused on federal policy, there is also a role for science and technology in state, local, tribal, territorial, and international policy.
