- Abstract
- This report presents survey of a major phase of the international activities of the National Engineering Laboratory (NEL), NBS, for the Fiscal Year 1979. 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 Organization 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 and the listing of overseas guest workers at NBS, some significant and gratifying contributions to international technical progress are detailed here. The report is organized by countries, international organizations and conferences. NEL professional staff involved in these activities are readily identified. Guest workers are listed with their research interests. 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.
