Travel Support for the IEEE 2001 Conference on the History of Telecommunications, St. John's, Newfoundland

该奖项提供了一笔旅行补助金，以确保大约9位对电信史有适当兴趣和知识的美国各级历史学家有机会参加2001年7月25日至27日在圣约翰的纽芬兰纪念大学举行的电信史会议。会议由IEEE历史委员会和罗格斯大学的IEEE历史中心组织。获奖者将由项目委员会从报名参加研讨会的符合条件的参与者中择优选出。随着电信在经济、政治和社会上变得越来越重要，更好地了解其历史发展是很重要的。会议将把工程师和历史学家聚集在一起，进行为期两天半的论文报告和讨论，共享早餐和午餐，以及可选的晚间活动和短途旅行。

This award provides a travel grant to assure that approximately nine U.S. historians of all levels who have appropriate interest in and knowledge of the History of Telecommunications will have an opportunity to attend a conference on the history of telecommunications to be held at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's 25 -27 July 2001. The conference is organized by The IEEE History Committee and the IEEE History Center at Rutgers University. The grantees will be chosen by the Program Committee on the basis of merit from among those eligible participants registering for the workshop. As telecommunications become ever more important economically, politically, and socially, it is important to understand better their historical development. The conference will bring together both engineers and historians for two and a half days of paper presentations and discussions, shared breakfasts and lunches, and optional evening activities and excursions.
