Abstract
THE Association of Scientific Workers is organizing an open conference on the general topic of “Science and the War Effort”, to be held in the Caxton Hall, Westminster, during January 10 and 11, 1942. The president of the Association, Mr. R. A. Watson Watt, will open the Conference at 10 a.m. on January 10. The proceedings will then develop in two parallel sessions; one session will be concerned with technical education, which will include the university training of men of science and technicians, also the special technical training of personnel for the Forces and for industry. The parallel session will be discussing building, housing and A.K.P. in the morning; and, during the afternoon, food and agriculture. After tea, both sessions will unite for the main discussion on the latter subject. The session on January 11 will be entirely devoted to discussion of immediate scientific problems in relation to war production and the services. One topic which will be thoroughly examined is the utilization of scientific personnel, about which subjeet the Industrial Committee of the Association has collected a great deal of material. The remainder of the day will be occupied with the examination of the application of scientific knowledge to production problems and to services problems. This will include consideration of industrial health, conditions of work, and related topics. The final session after tea will be devoted to summing up the results of the Conference.
