Travel Funds for the Involvement of Researchers in the 21st International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics

美国国家科学院的美国国家理论与应用力学委员会提出了一项旅行资助计划，以帮助美国的研究人员参加2004年8月在华沙举行的第21届国际理论与应用力学大会。波兰。 国际会议为来自世界各地的研究人员提供了一个论坛，介绍和讨论最近的研究成果，并确定未来研究工作的方向。 它们为交流思想、培养工作关系、建立网络和教育研究生提供了一个环境。 与会者接触到理论和应用力学的最新发展，与该领域的领导者和先驱者互动，加强他们对基本原理的理解，并与同行建立更私人的关系。 来自美国的所有研究人员，无论是初级还是高级研究人员的参与增加，这笔赠款将加强美国的力学研究，并有助于建立该学科的未来。

Travel Funds for the Involvement of Researchers in the 21st International Congress of Theoretical and Applied MechanicsNSF Proposal # 0353338AbstractThe U.S. National Committee for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the National Academies proposes a travel grant program to assist researchers from the United States in attending the 21st International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, August 2004, in Warsaw, Poland. International congresses provide a forum for researchers from around the world to present and discuss recent research findings and to define directions for future research work. They provide a setting for exchanging ideas, cultivating working relationships, building networks, and educating graduate students. Attendees are exposed to the latest developments in theoretical and applied mechanics, interact with leaders and pioneers in the field, strengthen their understanding of basic principles, and establish a more personal relationship with their peers. The increased involvement of all researchers, both junior and senior, from the United States that this grant will enable will strengthen U.S. mechanics research and help build the future of the discipline.
