0002882El-ShallDescription: This award is for support of a US-Egypt Workshop on Advanced Materials to be held in Cairo, Egypt, September 24-28, 2000. The US organizer is Dr. Samy El-Shall, Professor of Chemistry, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia. The Egyptian co-organizer is Dr. Sherif Eissa, President of the National Research Center in Cairo. The purposes of the workshop are to discuss jointly selected important topics in materials sciences and to identify specific areas where research collaboration will be mutually beneficial. Individual workshop sessions will be dedicated to: nanostructured and nanocomposite materials, smart materials and self-assembly, thin films, and high performance materials (magnetic, photonics, molecular electronics). The final session of the workshop will be devoted to discussions of conclusions and future plans. The proceedings will highlight areas recommended for collaborative research. Scope: This award will support a US-Egypt workshop in an area that is increasing in importance both in the United States and in Egypt. The development of suitable materials for various applications is crucial for developments in industry, environmental management, housing, and in health service delivery. The workshop participants will not only assess the current status of the field of advanced materials, but also will discuss cooperative research and joint projects between American and Egyptian scientists and engineers, and will discuss the technological and economic impacts of these projects. Participants from both countries represent academia, government, and the private sector. The Egyptian coorganizer is the president of the primary government research organization in that country. This proposal meets the INT objective of supporting US-foreign scientific collaboration in areas of mutual benefit. Funding for this project is provided by the Division of International Programs, through the US-Egypt Joint Fund program, and by the Division of Materials Research.

描述：该奖项是对将于2000年9月24-28日在埃及开罗举行的美国-埃及先进材料研讨会的支持。美国组织者是弗吉尼亚州里士满弗吉尼亚联邦大学化学教授萨米·埃尔-希尔博士。埃及的联合组织者是开罗国家研究中心主席谢里夫·艾萨博士。研讨会的目的是讨论共同选定的材料科学重要主题，并确定研究合作将互惠互利的具体领域。个别研讨会将致力于：纳米结构和纳米复合材料、智能材料和自组装、薄膜和高性能材料(磁性、光子学、分子电子学)。讲习班的最后一次会议将专门讨论结论和未来计划。会议纪要将突出建议进行合作研究的领域。范围：该奖项将支持在美国和埃及日益重要的一个领域举办美国-埃及研讨会。开发适用于各种应用的材料对于工业、环境管理、住房和卫生服务提供的发展至关重要。研讨会参与者不仅将评估先进材料领域的现状，还将讨论美国和埃及科学家和工程师之间的合作研究和联合项目，并将讨论这些项目的技术和经济影响。来自两国的与会者代表了学术界、政府和私营部门。埃及的合作组织者是该国主要政府研究机构的主席。这项建议符合INT的目标，即支持美国和外国在互利领域的科学合作。该项目的资金由国际项目部、美国-埃及联合基金项目和材料研究部提供。
