World Technology Evaluation Center: Welcome

WTEC is the nation's leading organization in conducting international technology assessments. During the 1990s, it was called the World Technology Evaluation Center (WTEC) Division of Loyola University Maryland. In 2001, WTEC was spun off into a separate nonprofit corporation.

The current directions in Vaccine Production were presented by a panel of experts who returned from a study of 30 sites and 5 different countries in Asia. The panel had compared findings in vaccine production with the latest research in the United States and Europe. This FREE workshop was held on May 5,2010 at NSF, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Stafford II, Room 555, Arlington, VA 22230. More information. Long-term Impacts and Future Opportunities for Nanoscale Science and Engineering Nanotechnology is a key element underpinning future progress in science and technology. A panel of experts, convened by the World Technology Evaluation Center, Inc. (WTEC) on behalf of NSF, has highlighted the progress being made in nanotechnology worldwide and the growing competitiveness of activities in this area outside the United States. This workshop was held on March 9-10, 2010 at the Hotel Orrington Evanston, Illinois. Other workshops will be held in Europe and Asia as well. More information. The current directions in Flexible Hybrid Electronics were presented by a panel of experts who visited over 20 sites in Europe. The study was sponsored by the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to examine the worldwide status and trends in this field. This FREE workshop was held on June 30, 2009 at NSF, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Stafford II, Room 595, Arlington, VA 22230. More information. Vision for Research and Development in Simulation-Based Engineering and Science (SBE&S) in the Next Decade SBE&S is a key element underpinning future progress in science and technology, as has been identified in numerous government, national academy, and other reports. A panel of experts, convened by the World Technology Evaluation Center, Inc. (WTEC) on behalf of a number of U.S. federal funding agencies, has highlighted the progress being made in SBE&S worldwide and the growing competitiveness of activities in this area outside the United States. This workshop was held on April 22-23, 2009 at The National Academy of Sciences Building, 2100 C St NW, Washington, DC 20418. More information.
