Keynote by Alex “Sandy” Pentland, MIT

12:30 – 1:30

Lunch

1:30  – 2:00

Two-Minute Flash Talks by Leading Experts

2:00  – 3:00

Funding Opportunities
Government and private foundations discuss how they fund people, projects,  and infrastructure in support of R&D on validated and trusted STI models  and standards.

– Susan Fitzpatrick, James S. McDonnell  Foundation (Moderator)
 – Stephen Marcus, NIH
 – Riq Parra, Air Force Office of Scientific Research

 – John Walsh, Georgia Tech
 – Lynne Zucker, UCLA
 – William B. Rouse, Stevens Institute of Technology

4:30 – 5:00

Break and Group Photo

5:00  – 6:30

Models of STI
Researchers present models that help us understand the inner working of  STI and/or that aim to address the needs of science policy makers.

– Staša Milojević, Indiana University  (Moderator)
 – Daniel McFarland, Stanford University
 – Petra Ahrweiler, EA of Technology and Innovation Assessment GmbH, Germany
 – Ben Shneiderman, University of Maryland

8:00 PM

Adjourn

7:30 – 8:00

Breakfast

8:00  – 9:30

Data, Algorithms, and Infrastructure
High quality predictions require access to high quality and high coverage  data. Just like local data is of little value for global weather predictions;  data for just one institution or country is of limited value when aiming to  make STI predictions.

– Katy  Börner, Indiana University (Moderator)
 – James Onken, NIH
 – Richard Freeman, Harvard University
 – Nachum Shacham, PayPal
 – Grace Peng, NIH
 – Ian Hutchins, NIH

9:30 – 10:00

Break

10:00  – 11:30

Models of Science
Exactly how can models of science inform decision making in academia,  government, and industry? Leading experts present their models and discuss  limitations to predictability.

– James Evans, The University of Chicago  (Moderator)
 – Brian Uzzi, Northwestern University
 – Santo Fortunato, Aalto University, Finland
 – Roberta Sinatra, Central European University, Hungary & Northeastern  University
 – Staša Milojević, Indiana University

11:30  – 12:30

Policy Issues
Hear first-hand from policy makers the types of issues they are dealing  with and what kinds of models and model results would help them to be  informed decision-makers.

– Caroline Wagner, Ohio State University  (Moderator)
 – Bill Valdez, The Consultants International Group
 – Kevin Finneran, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
 – Kaye G. Husbands Fealing, Georgia Tech

12:30 – 1:30
