Research Conference on the Advancing Frontiers of Condensed Matter Physics: Non-conventional Systems and New Directions, ICTP, Trieste, Italy, July 2-6, 2001

该奖项将为Stig Lundquist研究会议提供部分支持，该会议名为“凝聚态物理的前沿”。该会议将于2001年7月2日至6日在意大利的里雅斯特举行，由阿卜杜勒·萨拉姆国际理论物理中心(ICTP)赞助。会议的主题是“非常规制度和新方向”。资金将用于资助来自美国的高级研究生、博士后和年轻教师的旅费和当地费用。会议的核心支助将由国际理论物理中心提供，海军研究办公室将提供补充支助。一份出色的议程和演讲者名单将介绍“硬”和“软”凝聚态物理学以及物理学和生物学之间的接口方面发生的重大发展。该奖项将为来自美国的高级研究生、博士后和年轻教员参加2001年7月2日至6日在意大利的里雅斯特举行的国际会议提供部分旅费和当地费用。会议涉及凝聚态物理的前沿，并将讨论传统的固体物理领域，如超导，以及软凝聚体领域，如胶体、聚合物、流变学等。这些主题涉及生物材料，如骨矿物(硬材料)和组织(软材料)。因此，物理学和生物学之间的接口也将在会议期间讨论。

This award will provide partial support for the Stig Lundquist Research Conference: "The Advancing Frontiers of Condensed Matter Physics". The Conference will be held in Trieste, Italy, July 2-6, 2001, under the sponsorship of the Abdus Salam International Centre of Theoretical Physics (ICTP. The theme of the Conference is Non-Conventional Systems and New Directions". Funds will be used to support the travel and local expenses of advanced graduate students, postdocs and young faculty from the United States. Core support for the Conference will be provided by the ICTP, with additional support provided by the Office of Naval Research. An excellent agenda and speaker list will address major developments taking place in "hard" and "soft" condensed matter physics, and the interface between physics and biology.%%%This award will provide partial support for the travel and local expenses of advanced graduate students, postdocs and young faculty from the United States to attend an international Conference in Trieste, Italy, July 2-6, 2001. The Conference deals with the frontiers of condensed matter physics, and will address traditional areas of solid state physics, such as superconductivity, as well as areas of soft condensed matter, like colloids, polymers, rheology, etc. These topics relate to biological materials such as bone minerals (hard materials) and tissue (soft materials). Thus the interface between physics and biology will also be addressed during the conference.***
