US-Brazil Student Sponsorship at the Fifth Latin American Symposium on Nuclear Physics; Santos, Brazil, Fall 2003

这项美国-巴西的奖励将支持dr。Philip L. Cole和Jorge A. Lopez将赞助学生参加于2003年9月1日至5日在巴西桑托斯举行的第五届拉丁美洲核物理研讨会。来自巴西的协办人是圣保罗大学的Roberto V. Ribas博士。这项活动的目标是促进北美和南美院校的教师和学生之间的对话。通过思想交流，它将使相关人员找到共同的研究兴趣和目标。这将在国际核物理学界的广泛范围内加强美国和拉丁美洲之间的联系，并将为学生提供在国际背景下进行的研究的第一手资料。这种经历不仅有助于培养面向全球的劳动力，而且还可能有助于鼓励未来的研究人员在美洲地区从事未来的工作，而这些地区并没有引起美国研究人员的那么多关注。

This U.S.-Brazil award will support Drs. Philip L. Cole and Jorge A. Lopez to sponsor students to attend the Fifth Latin American Symposium on Nuclear Physics (V LASNP) to be held in Santos, Brazil on September 1-5, 2003. The co-organizer from Brazil is Dr. Roberto V. Ribas, Universidade de Sao Paulo.The goal of this activity is to promote dialog among faculty members and students of North American and South American institutions. Through exchanges of ideas it will allow those involved to find common research interests and goals. This will strengthen the link between US and Latin America within the broad scope of the international nuclear physics community and will provide the students with a first-hand view of research carried out in an international context. Not only will this experience contribute to a globally oriented workforce but also it might serve to encourage future researchers to pursue future work in a part of the Americas that has not attracted as much attention from US researchers.
