This lecture draws to the attention of human biologists the opportunities that are available for their participation in international research programmes. Relevant past and present research programmes of the International Union of Biological Sciences are described, together with the larger programmes of the human genome initiative, and the international geosphere biosphere programme on global change of the International Council of Scientific Unions; and the smaller programmes of the World Health Organization and the Council of the European Community. Human biologists have much to contribute to such programmes, but, to do so, personal interests need to be tailored to the requirements of each specific programme.
本次讲座提请人类生物学家注意他们参与国际研究项目的机会。文中描述了国际生物科学联合会过去和现在的相关研究项目,以及人类基因组计划的大型项目,还有国际科学联合会理事会关于全球变化的国际地圈生物圈计划;以及世界卫生组织和欧洲共同体理事会的小型项目。人类生物学家可为这些项目做出很大贡献,但是,要做到这一点,个人兴趣需要根据每个具体项目的要求进行调整。
