In the war on terrorism, new technologies will play a crucial role. To enhance the security of our borders and our transportation systems, and to ensure the health of our citizens, our country has a pressing need to accelerate the development of new technologies and new products. Public-private partnerships involving industry, universities and the government are one proven way to bring promising products into the market.

The National Academy of Science’s Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy convened a major conference on Public Private Partnerships: Partnering Against Terrorism. This conference, organized under the leadership of Gordon Moore, Chairman Emeritus of Intel, was held at the National Academies’ main building at 2100 C Street on 3 October 2002, at 8:30 am in the Lecture Room (across the from the State Department Diplomatic entrance). The Summary Report of this comprehensive ten-volume study will be released at this conference in the hope that its lessons can be applied to the war on terrorism, as well as other national goals.
