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

材料研究学会无机材料固态化学研讨会将于2002年12月2-6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信息交流，包括CAREER受助人，以及在固态化学广泛领域优先领域工作的顶尖博士后学者和研究生。美国国家科学基金会的资金将专门用于抵消参加研讨会的美国参与者的费用，特别是在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会议演讲者。固态化学社区继续对重要的技术领域产生直接影响，这些领域通过设计，合成和应用新材料对推动社会发展至关重要。例子包括用于催化的多孔固体，用于电子和电光器件的薄膜，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级，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具有很强的竞争力，并继续以许多重要的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.
