17th International Union of Crystallography Congress and General Assembly to be held in Seattle WA August 8-17, 1996.

9626194 Bryan该项目为海外科学家作为特邀发言人或会议领导人参加第17届国际晶体学联合会大会（IUCr）提供部分配套旅行支助，该大会将于1996年8月8日至17日在华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿州会议和贸易中心举行。 三年一次的IUCr大会是讨论和传播晶体学新成果以及理论和实验进展的公认国际论坛。 晶体学通过其主要工具，X射线，中子和电子通过晶体固体的衍射，是获得分子和材料三维结构准确信息的主要方法。 这些信息对许多不同科学分支的发展至关重要，包括化学、分子生物学、凝聚态物理学、矿物学和材料科学。 大会邀请的演讲者和会议领导人都是各自专业领域公认的领导者。 由于这将是自1969年以来第一次在美国举行的IUCr大会，它为大量美国科学家提供了一个难得的机会，与这些来自海外的杰出同事见面并向他们学习。 基金会提供的资金将与国际铬联本身的相应捐款相结合，以提供所需的旅费支助。 ***

9626194 Bryan The project provides for partial matching travel support for overseas scientists participating as invited speakers or session leaders at the 17th International Union of Crystallography Congress (IUCr), to be held at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, Seattle, WA, from August 8-17, 1996. The triennial IUCr Congresses are the accepted international forum for the discussion and dissemination of new results and theoretical and experimental advances in crystallography. Crystallography, through its primary tools, the diffraction of X-rays, neutrons and electrons by crystalline solids, is the principal method of obtaining accurate information on the three-dimensional structures of molecules and materials. Such information is of fundamental importance in the development of many different branches of science, including chemistry, molecular biology, condensed matter physics, mineralogy and materials science. The invited speakers and session leaders at the Congress are the acknowledged leaders in their specialties. Because this will be the first IUCr Congress to be held in the United States since 1969, it provides an unusually valuable opportunity for large numbers of US scientists to meet with and learn from these distinguished colleagues from overseas. Funds provided by the Foundation will be combined with matching contributions from the IUCr itself, to provide needed support of travel costs. ***
