The objective of this proposal is to obtain partial funding to support the travel of a delegation of scientists from the United States to attend the third ESF NANOTRIBO conference to be held on September 18-22 at Sesimbra, Portugal. The delegation will consist of 12 established and up and coming researchers from various universities and national research labs across the United States with strong expertise in nanotribology and who have been approved by the organizing committee. The research expertise of the group encompasses experimental and theoretical/modeling work which is in line with the aim of the conference to promote collaborations between experimentalists and theoreticians in the field of tribology on the nanometer scale. Funds requested will be used to cover part of the travel costs of the delegation to attend the conference. The conference will cover the room and board expenses of the delegation. The participation of the delegation will aid in fostering collaborative research relations between nanotribology researchers in the United States and in Europe. Some activities that will be pursued as a result of participation in the conference include student exchange programs, visiting faculty opportunities, collaborative research proposals between delegation members and members of the European research community and establishing relations with top researchers in Europe to organize future joint research workshops and conferences on nanotribology and related themes.

这项提案的目标是获得部分资金，以支持美国科学家代表团参加将于9月18日至22日在葡萄牙塞西姆布拉举行的第三届ESF NANOTRIBO会议。该代表团将由12名来自美国各大学和国家研究实验室的研究人员组成，他们在纳米摩擦学方面具有很强的专业知识，并已得到组委会的批准。该小组的研究专长包括实验和理论/建模工作，这符合会议的目的，即促进纳米尺度摩擦学领域的实验学家和理论家之间的合作。所要求的经费将用于支付代表团出席会议的部分旅费。会议将支付代表团的食宿费用。该代表团的参加将有助于促进美国和欧洲纳米摩擦学研究人员之间的合作研究关系。参加会议的一些活动将包括学生交换计划，访问教师的机会，代表团成员和欧洲研究界成员之间的合作研究建议，以及与欧洲顶级研究人员建立关系，组织未来的纳米摩擦学和相关主题的联合研究研讨会和会议。
