Appendix A    Workshop Agenda    Culture Matters: An Approach to International Research Agreements  Government‐University‐Industry Research Roundtable    July 29‐31, 2013    National Academy of Sciences Building  2101 Constitution Avenue NW  Washington, DC 20418    FINAL AGENDA    With this GUIRR workshop, we intend to address how culture and cultural per‐ ception influence and impact the process by which research agreements are made and  negotiated  across  international  boundaries.  Representatives  from  around  the  world  and  from  GUIRR’s  three  constituent  sectors—government,  university,  and  industry—will gather to provide input into four specific meeting tracks or domains. The tracks will focus on research and agreements affecting or involving:     (1) People/Human Subjects  (2) Environment and Natural Resources  (3) Science, Engineering, and Manufacturing  (4) Agriculture and Animal Issues    The task for the experts involved in each track will be to examine the domain under discussion and the role that culture and cultural expectations may have in the  forging  and  implementation  of  international  research  agreements.  In  addition  to the domain tracks, a set of six plenary sessions will be held, addressing topics of a cross‐cutting nature and engaging all workshop participants.        55
