Materials Research Society Symposium DD "Solid-State Chemistry of Inorganic Materials IV"

材料研究会第四届无机材料固态化学研讨会将于2002年12月2日至6日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行。会议的目标是促进广泛的研究人员之间的多学科互动和信息交流，包括职业受赠者，以及在广泛的固态化学领域的优先领域工作的顶尖博士后学者和研究生。NSF的资金将专门用于抵消美国与会者参加研讨会的相关费用，特别是无机材料固态化学领域的研究生、博士后学者、初级教师和选定的全体演讲者。固态化学界继续对通过设计、合成和应用新材料推动社会进步的重要技术领域产生直接影响。例如用于催化的多孔固体，用于电子和电光设备的薄膜，以及用于高强度复合结构材料的纳米结构材料。由于这些技术领域对工业具有非常高的优先地位，在这些涉及固态化学的多学科领域接受教育和培训的学生在就业市场上竞争非常激烈，并继续以许多重要方式为全球经济做出贡献。

The Materials Research Society Symposium on Solid State Chemistry of Inorganic Materials IV will be held in Boston, MA December 2-6, 2002. The goal of the conference is to facilitate multidisciplinary interactions information exchange within a broad spectrum of researchers, to include CAREER grantees, and top post doctoral scholars and graduate students working in priority areas of the broad field of solid-state chemistry. The NSF funds will be used exclusively to offset the expenses associated with attending the symposium for U.S. participants, specifically graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, junior faculty and selected plenary speakers in the area of solid state chemistry of inorganic materials.The Solid State Chemistry community continues to have a direct impact on important technological areas that are crucial to advancing society through the design, synthesis and application new materials. Examples include porous solids for catalysis, thin films for electronics and electrooptic devices, and nanostructured materials for high-strength composite structural materials. Since these technical areas are of very high priority to industry, students educated and trained in these multidisciplinary areas involving solid-state chemistry compete very well in the job market and go on to contribute in many significant ways to the global economy.
