Workshop on Quantum Gravity in the Southern Cone; Punta del Este, Uruguay, March 1996

9513235普林这项美洲计划奖将资助一组美国科学家参加1996年3月25日至27日在乌拉圭埃斯特角举行的量子引力研讨会的旅费和相关费用。组织者是宾夕法尼亚州立大学的豪尔赫·普林博士和乌拉圭蒙得维的亚共和国大学文化部的鲁道夫·甘比尼博士。该奖项将资助两名美国资深科学家和七名初级研究人员。它的目的是交流思想和量子引力领域的最新研究。研讨会的拟议形式是为期三天的会议，由该领域的领导人举行全体会议，并由该地区的科学家和美国与会者提交论文和海报。在过去的十年里，南美洲南锥体的科学活动一直在稳步增长。在量子引力领域，该区域有三个规模不大但在国际上非常引人注目的群体。这次研讨会将允许来自该地区和美国的年轻研究人员交流想法并建立联系，这可能会促进未来的合作。***

9513235 Pullin This Americas Program award will fund travel and related expenses for a group of U.S. scientists to participate in a workshop on quantum gravity to be held in Punta del Este, Uruguay, March 25-27, 1996. Organizers are Dr. Jorge Pullin, Pennsylvania State University, and Dr. Rodolfo Gambini, Ministerio de Educacion y Cultura, Universidad de la Republica, Montevideo, Uruguay. This award will fund two U.S. senior scientists and seven junior researchers. Its purpose is the exchange of ideas and recent research in the field of quantum gravity. The proposed format of the workshop is a three day meeting with plenary sessions by leaders in the field, and contributed papers and posters by scientists of the region and U.S. participants. Scientific activity in the Southern Cone of South America has grown at a steady pace in the last ten years. In the area of quantum gravity, the region has three small but internationally highly visible groups. This workshop will allow young researchers from the region and the U.S. to exchange ideas and establish ties that may give rise to future collaborations. ***
