Student Travel Support for the 2006 North American Membrane Society Meeting

标题：2006年北美膜学会会议（NAMS 2006）的学生旅行资助这项旅行资助的目的是为研究生和博士后在2006年6月举行的第17届北美膜学会年会上展示他们的研究提供资助。NAMS是美国关注这一主题的最大会议。会议将举行22场技术会议，涵盖前沿的基础和应用膜科学与技术。会议将有3场全体演讲和22场主题演讲，为会议带来该领域的最新发展。为会议制定了广泛的学生计划，包括青年膜科学家论坛，与传奇人物共进晚餐，以及学生海报比赛。会议开始前将举办四场技术研讨会。这些研讨会是学生学习关键领域基础知识和高级研究课题的绝佳场所，例如：膜的测量方法；高分子和无机膜材料及膜的形成；气体分离;药物加工用膜。来自世界各地的约400名膜研究人员将代表工业、政府和学术机构参加。这次会议是美国研究人员在膜科学和技术领域工作的主要科学会议。会议已通过电子征文和一系列传单在全球范围内宣布。这次会议也被刊登在《膜科学杂志》、《北美膜学会膜季刊》以及欧洲、日本和韩国的同行杂志上。有关会议的信息发布在互联网上：www.membranes.org。就更广泛的影响而言，这项支持将允许学生参加全国性会议。许多学生和高级研究人员在海报上展示他们的工作，这个会议的非正式气氛通常会激发学生和领域领导者之间有意义的讨论。

Title: Student Travel Support for the 2006 North American Memebrane Society Meeting (NAMS 2006)The objective of this travel grant is to provide stipends for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to present their research at the 17th Annual Meeting of the North American Membrane Society in June 2006. NAMS is the largest American meeting focused on this subject. The meeting will have 22 technical sessions covering the spectrum of leading-edge fundamental and applied membrane science and technology. The meeting will feature 3 plenary lectures and 22 keynote lectures to bring the latest developments in the field to this meeting. An extensive student program has been developed for the meeting, including the Young Membrane Scientist Forum, Dining with the Legends, and a student poster competition. Four technical workshops will beoffered just prior to the beginning of the meeting. These workshops are excellent venues for students to learn about fundamentals and advanced research topics in key areas such as: Measurement Methods for Membranes; Polymeric and Inorganic Membrane Materials and Membrane Formation; Gas Separation; and Membranes for Pharmaceutical Processing. Approximately 400 membrane researchers from all parts of the world representing industry, government and academic facilities will participate. This meeting is the principal scientific meeting for American researchers working in the area of membrane science and technology. The meeting has been announced worldwide through an electronic Call for Papers and a series of fliers. The meeting is also being advertised in the Journal of Membrane Science, the North American Membrane Society Membrane Quarterly, and their European, Japanese, and Korean counterparts. Information about the meeting is posted on the internet at www.membranes.org. In terms of broader impacts, the support will permit students to participate in a national meeting. Many students and senior researchers present their work in posters, and the less formal atmosphere of this session typically stimulates meaningful discussions between students and leaders in the field.
