NSF has also funded the domestic Frontiers of Science Symposia.The GAFOS is designed to bring together the best young researchers from Germany and the United States to hear lectures and engage in discussions on cutting edge issues in science and engineering, and possible future development. The Symposia not only bring together researchers from the two countries, but also researchers from different disciplines in the expectation of being able to apply techniques of problem solving from one field to other fields.
