0002882El-Shall 描述：该奖项是为了支持将于 2000 年 9 月 24 日至 28 日在埃及开罗举行的美国-埃及先进材料研讨会。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 Samy El-Shall 博士。 埃及协办者是开罗国家研究中心主席Sherif Eissa 博士。 研讨会的目的是讨论共同选定的材料科学重要主题，并确定研究合作互利的具体领域。 各个研讨会将致力于：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）。研讨会的最后一场会议将专门讨论结论和未来计划。 会议记录将突出推荐合作研究的领域。范围：该奖项将支持在美国和埃及日益重要的领域举办的美国-埃及研讨会。 开发适合各种应用的合适材料对于工业、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。 两国的参与者代表学术界、政府和私营部门。埃及的共同组织者是该国主要政府研究组织的主席。 该提案符合 INT 支持美外科学合作在互惠互利领域的目标。 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。

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.
