International Travel Support: Mini Symposia 20th IEEE/EMBS Annual International Conference, Oct 29-Nov 1, 1998, Hong Kong

第20届IEEE/EMBS（电气和电子工程师学会/医学和生物工程学会）国际年会将于1998年10月29日至11月1日在香港举行，其中包括生物传感器和生物力学微机电系统两个小型专题讨论会。小型研讨会将向未来的研究人员介绍这些日益重要的生物医学工程研究领域的最新科学进展。正在提供支助，以支付参加小型专题讨论会的15名发言者的部分旅费。获得支持的个人将根据以下标准进行选择：参加小型专题讨论会；年轻研究人员;多样性（性别、少数民族、残疾人）；组织者。小型专题讨论会的与会者将了解当前的研究，这些研究将有助于开发将导致医学新应用的技术。每个获得资助的人都要向生物工程和环境系统司提交一份报告，说明在小型专题讨论会上讨论的最有可能对新医疗技术的发展产生重大影响的研究。＊＊＊

9873557 Szeto The 20th IEEE/EMBS (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers/Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society) Annual International Conference, to be held in Hong Kong, October 29-November 1, 1998, includes the two mini-symposia of Biosensors and Biomechanical Micro-Electromechanical Systems in its program. The mini-symposia will introduce prospective investigators to the state-of-the-science in these increasingly important areas of biomedical engineering research. Support is being provided to cover partial travel costs for 15 speaker-participants in the mini-symposia. Individuals who receive support are to be selected based on the following criteria: participation in the mini-symposia; young investigators; diversity (gender; minority; disabled); organizers. Participants in the mini-symposia will learn about current research that will contribute to the development of technologies that will lead to new applications in medicine. Each recipient of support is to submit a report to the Division of Bioengineering and Environmental Systems describing the research discussed at the mini-symposia having the greatest potential for dramatically influencing the development of new medical technologies. ***
