Partial Financial Support of the Federation of Latin American Physical Societies, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1990

该奖项为拉丁美洲物理学会联合会提供部分支持。美国的首席研究员是费米实验室的Leon Lederman，他的对手是巴西物理学会主席、联合会主席、圣保罗大学教授Gil da Costa Marques。联合会成员包括阿根廷、玻利维亚、巴西、哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、古巴、智利、厄瓜多尔、洪都拉斯、墨西哥、秘鲁和委内瑞拉。第一次会议将于1990年7月举行，每年举行一次重要会议，每三年举行一次会议，扩大为泛美专题讨论会。美国在整个拉丁美洲的物理学领域有着广泛的联系和合作。显然，鼓励加强发展中国家以及我们的双边协定伙伴的科学基础设施的活动符合我们的利益。该联合会将提高成员之间以及与美国物理学会之间的物理学互动水平。这一改善将加强通信和设施共享，以及科学思想和物理学研究。

This award provides partial support for the Federation of Latin American Physical Societies. The principal investigator for the U.S. is Leon Lederman of Fermilab and his counterpart is Gil da Costa Marques, President of the Brazilian Physical Society, President of the Federation and a professor at the University of Sao Paulo. Members of the Federation include Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Chile, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. The first meeting will be in July, 1990 with major meetings every year and those in each third year expanded into a Pan American Symposium. The U.S. has extensive connections and collaborations in physics throughout Latin America. It is clearly in our interest to encourage activities which will strengthen the infrastructure of science in developing countries as well as our bilateral agreement partners. This Federation will improve the level of interaction in physics among the members and with the American Physical Society. The improvement will enhance communications and the sharing of facilities as well as scientific ideas and the study of physics.
