Conference: XIV International Glycoconjugate Symposium to beheld September 7 - 12, 1997 in Zurich, Switzerland

9723850第十四届糖结合物国际研讨会将于九七年九月七日至十二日在瑞士苏黎世举行。这次研讨会是由国际糖共轭组织主办的，是科学家在糖共轭研究方面的主要国际会议。为了让初级科学家出席并介绍他们的数据并在国际上进一步交流，有必要为他们获得旅费。由糖类生物学学会董事会成员组成的一个小组对提交的申请进行审查，将用来对申请者进行排名。这一排名将基于个人成就以及将在会议上提交的研究的质量和影响。科学进步是研究人员在会议上交换意见的结果。重要的是，让初级科学家参加国内和国际会议，在这些会议上，思想交流将对他们的职业发展产生重大影响。这一奖项将提供资金，以支持初级科学家参加国际会议。对这次会议的资金奖励是特别合适的，因为糖类生物学学会选择在一次比赛中将奖项颁发给初级研究人员。这不仅将提高旅行奖所提供和支持的工作的质量，而且将确保奖项将颁发给在各自领域内最具竞争力的初级研究人员，他们后来将成为杰出的科学家。***

9723850 Stanley The XIV International Symposium on Glycoconjugates will be held in Zurich, Switzerland, September 7-12, 1997. The Symposium, which is sponsored by the International Glycoconjugate Organization, is the major international meeting of scientists in glycoconjugate research. In order for junior scientists to attend and present their data and further exchange on the international level, it is necessary to obtain travel funds for them. A review of submitted requests by a panel consisting of members of the Board of Directors of the Society of Glycobiology will be used to rank the applicants. This ranking will be based on individual accomplishments and quality and impact of the research to be presented at the meeting. Scientific progress proceeds as the result of exchange of ideas among investigators at conferences. It is important that junior scientists be exposed to national and international conferences where the exchange of ideas will have great impact on their career development. This award will supply funds to support the travel of junior scientists to an international conference. The award of funds to this conference is particularly appropriate because the Society of Glycobiology has chosen to make the awards to junior investigators in a competition. This will not only raise the quality of the work presented and supported by the travel award but it will assure that the awards will go to junior investigators who are the most competitive within their field and who will later become prominent scientists. ***
