Fronties in Materials Research: A CIAM-CIMAT-CONICYT Workshop; April 26-29, 2004; Santiago, Chile

一个跨学科的国际材料科学研讨会将于2004年4月26日至29日在智利圣地亚哥举行，由国家科学基金会和智利国际材料科学理事会赞助。该研讨会由来自美洲国家的科学家通过美洲材料合作组织(CIAM)、智利先进材料研究中心(CIMAT)和加州大学圣巴巴拉分校组织。讲习班通过汇聚整个非洲大陆的材料研究人员和学生，为在一个迅速发展的领域的前沿进行科学交流提供了一个论坛，从而加强了与会者之间的合作，重点是跨学科。预计将有约200人参加，学生和博士后研究助理约占参赛者的一半。该奖项由材料研究部、国际科学与工程办公室以及化学和运输系统部支持。

An interdisciplinary, international, materials science workshop will be held in Santiago, Chile, on April 26-29, 2004, under the sponsorship of NSF and CONICYT-Chile. The workshop is organized by scientists from countries in the Americas through the Inter-American Materials Collaboration (CIAM), the Center for Advanced Materials Research (CIMAT) in Chile, and the U. of California at Santa Barbara. The workshop provides a forum for scientific exchange at the cutting edge of a rapidly developing field by bringing together materials researchers and students from across the continent, thus enhancing collaborations among participants with an emphasis on interdisciplinarity. An attendance of about 200 is expected, students and postdoctoral research associates comprise about half of the participants.This award is supported by the Division of Materials Research, the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Chemical and Transport Systems.
