Objectives:
The Austrian Energy Agency has completed an extensive two year study on
"Opportunities to Improve Energy Efficiency in the Czech Republic".
The described measures and recommendations concern especially the industry,
household and transportation sectors, while paying a particular attention to
the legal and institutional framework and to the role of awareness,
information and training. The presentation of the main results of the study
will give the impulsion to a discussion of the main issues related to energy
efficiency in Central and Eastern European Countries within a broad
spezialized audience.
The comprehension of these issues will be further supported by the
presentation of concrete realizations. Eastern and Western experts involved
in these projects or programmes will contribute to an appraisal of the
decisive factors and to the definition of adapted strategies for a successful
implementation in the Central and Eastern European context.
The conference is aimed to stimulate the development of new
programmes in Central and Eastern Europe and support those interested in
energy efficiency in realizing their plans. For this purpose, the meeting will
contribute to an exchange of experience and information and is expected to
foster co-operation in the implementation of energy efficiency projects
throughout Europe.
Target group:
Public policy analysts, programme designers or managers, public
officials, government advisors, and representatives of municipalities,
utilities, transportation and industrial companies as well as other companies
involved in energy efficiency.
The participants may already have gathered experience in implementing
projects and programmes or may be planning similar actions. Participants
and contributors are expected from all over Europe.

PRESS RELEASE (94)100 20 October 1994
NATO WORKSHOP ON THE ROLE OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL
SOCIETIES IN EASTERN EUROPE - 28-31 OCTOBER 1994
A NATO sponsored Advanced Research Workshop focusing on
the ways that scientific and technical societies in
Eastern Europe can contribute to their countries'
technological infrastructure will convene from 28-31
October, 1994, in Visegrad, Hungary.
The workshop is intended to produce recommendations for
institutions in Eastern Europe related to:
- development of mechanisms for professional
self-regulation that foster a commitment to high
standards of research and professional ethics;
- participating in the political process in a
manner that transcends professional self-interest yet
enhances the influence of the scientific and technical
communities;
- designing ways to communicate with the public
about scientific and technical advances and their
ethical, legal, and social implications.
About 45 scientists, policy-makers, science journalists,
and legal scholars from Bulgaria, the Czech Republic,
Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Latvia,
Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic,
UK and USA will discuss the opportunities and obstacles
confronting scientific and technical societies in Eastern
Europe and how those societies might effectively respond
to them.

Frankel at the American Association for the Advancement
of Science (AAAS), Washington, D.C., tel: int'l-1-

bringing together governmental and industry experts from
NATO and the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (NACC)
countries to address the environmental cleanup of military
bases.
The Pilot Study, jointly led by the United States and

Conference", to foster communication between
government and industry on dealing with the environmental
legacy of the Cold War.
Dr. Jean-Marie Cadiou, NATO Assistant Secretary General
for Scientific and Environmental Affairs, will give the
opening address.
The Pilot Study on Environmental Aspects of Reusing Former

NACC states, the group is uniquely positioned to make an
important contribution in this field. Participating
states include Belarus, Belgium, Canada, the Czech
Republic, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania,
