Participation of Qualified Oceanographers from Developing Countries in International Scientific Meetings

该奖项为海洋研究科学委员会(SCOR)提供资金，用于向来自发展中国家和经济转型国家的合格和活跃的海洋研究人员提供旅行援助的长期计划。SCOR的旅行补助金是为了使这些人能够参加与他们的科学兴趣以及SCOR和国家科学基金会海洋科学司的科学兴趣有关的国际会议。这一正在进行的项目已成为SCOR向第三世界以及最近在俄罗斯和东欧的海洋科学家提供援助的努力的基石。所有接受资助的人都被告知，这项援助是通过美国国家科学基金会向SCOR提供的赠款实现的。项目目标包括：促进来自发展中国家、东欧和俄罗斯的科学家参与国际海洋科学活动；鼓励美国和其他发达国家的科学家与他们在发展中国家的同事之间的联系，并促进海洋学所有学科的知识转让；在需要的会议上提供区域专门知识和专门知识，例如在规划大型实验的区域组成部分方面；以及为发展中国家科学家参与国际合作方案提供机会。

This award provides funds to the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) for a long-standing program of travel assistance to qualified and active oceanographic researchers from developing countries and nations with economies in transition. SCOR travel grants are awarded to enable such individuals to attend international meetings relevant to their scientific interests and to those of SCOR and the Division of Ocean Sciences of NSF. This ongoing project has become the cornerstone of SCOR's efforts to provide assistance to marine scientists in the third world and, more recently in Russia and Eastern Europe. All recipients of funds are informed that this assistance is made possible through a grant to SCOR from the US National Science Foundation. Project objectives include: broading the participation of scientists from developing countries, eastern Europe, and Russia in international marine science events; encouraging contacts between scientists from the United States and other developed countries with their colleagues in developing countries, and to facilitate the transfer of knowledge in all disciplines of oceanography; making available specialized regional knowledge and expertise at meetings where this is needed, for example, in the planning of regional components of large-scale experiments; and providing opportunities for involvement of developing country scientists in international collaborative programs.
