Group Travel to the International Cartographic Association Meeting; Cologne, Germany; May 1993

国际制图协会的会议每两年举行一次。来自相关学科的500多名制图师、科学家和实践者聚集在这些会议上，学习最新的研究成果，计划未来的合作研究活动，检查最新的设备和技术，并与其他有共同兴趣的专业人士会面。这项奖金提供$9 000，使9名美国制图师能够出席和参加将于1993年5月在德国科隆举行的下一次国际制图协会会议。团体旅游资金的分配将由ICA美国全国委员会的一个小组委员会负责。奖金的一半将用于支持三位年轻科学家参加ICA会议。通过这项奖励提供的团体旅行支助将使更多的美国人能够出席和参加1993年的国际合作理事会会议。他们参加这次会议将使他们能够随时了解新的研究成果并规划未来的活动。由于特别强调在过去的国际合作会议活动中代表性不足的群体成员的支持，这次会议促进的科学活动的质量和范围将会更大。

Meetings of the International Cartographic Association are held every two years. More than 500 cartographers and scientists and practitioners from related disciplines convene at these meetings to learn the latest research results, to plan future collaborative research activities, to examine the latest equipment and techniques, and to meet other professionals who share their interests. This award provides $9,000 to enable nine U.S. cartographers to attend and participate in the next ICA meeting, which will be held in Cologne, Germany, in May 1993. Distribution of group- travel funds will be made by a subcommittee of the U.S. National Committee of the ICA. One-half of the funds awarded will be used to support participation at the ICA meeting of three younger scientists. Group-travel support through this award will enable more Americans to attend and participate in the 1993 ICA meeting. Their participation at this meeting will enable them to stay informed on new research results and to plan future activities. Because special emphasis is being given to the support of members of groups that have been underrepresented in past ICA activities, the quality and range of scientific activities facilitated by this meeting will be even greater.
