- Abstract
- This report presents a survey of a major phase of the international activities of the National Engineering Laboratory (NEL), NBS, for the Fiscal Year 1978. There are a number of media through which international activities are conducted. The first of these is the formal visit by one or more NEL staffers to a foreign research organiation or conference. The second category covers visits by foreign government scientists and research institutions to the NBS facilities. Other media include exchange visits and the hosting of overseas guest workers at NBS. Although this report covers only the first category, some significant and gratifying contribustions to international technical progress are detailed here. The report is organized by coutnries, international organizations and conferences. NEL professional staff involved in these activities are readily identified. The report is intended to serve as a directory and reference document for all those who seek information on the international activities of the National Engineering Laboratory, NBS.
