In July 2007, the nineteenth international conference entitled FormalPower Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC) will be held atthe Center for Combinatorics at Nankai University in Tianjin, China.In June 2008, the twentieth FPSAC international conference will be held in Valparaiso, Chile. The funding from this grant will be used to exclusively support the attendance, at each of these 2 conferences, of 45 graduate students, post-doctoral students, early career researchers, and researchers from underrepresented groups, who are studying or working at American Universities. Traditionally, the FPSAC conferences feature 9 plenary speakers, approximately30 contributed talks, and 2 poster sessions. The number of participants varies between 120 to 200 from all around the world, of whom between 70 to 120 are graduate students and early career researchers. The continuing success of the annual FPSAC conferences stems in part from their considerableinterdisciplinary breadth---linking leading researchers in combinatorial mathematics with strong researchers in allied fields drawn from pure and applied mathematics, theoretical computer science, physics, and biology. The considerable span of this conference series is unique among international conferences with an emphasis on combinatorial mathematics.The principal topics featured during the next two FPSAC conferences will be: algebraic and enumerative combinatorics and their applications and relations to other areas of mathematics, physics, biology, and computer science. The interdisciplinary span is evidenced by the choice of plenary speakers. All the plenary speakers for China have confirmed their participation. Those are: Bruce C. Berndt (U. of Illinois, USA), Philippe Biane (Ecole Normale Superieure, France), Anders Buch (Rutgers U., USA), Maxime Crochemore (U. of Marne-la-Vallee, France), Eva-Maria Feichtner (U. of Stuttgart,Germany), Sergey Fomin (U. of Michigan, USA), Ezra Miller (U. of Minnesota, USA),Soichi Okada (Nagoya U. Japan), and Peter Paule (U. of Linz, Austria).As for the FPSAC'08 in Chile, the following speakers have confirmed their participation: Marcelo Aguiar (Texas AM), Micheal Albert (U. of Otago, New Zealand), Jonathan Brundan (U. of Oregon, USA), Ian Grojnowski (U. of Cambridge, UK), Maria Ronco (U. de Valparaiso, Chile). The Chair and co-Chair for the Scientific program of the FPSAC'07 conference are: Bill Chen of Nankai University, China and Jean-Yves Thibon of the University of Marne-La-Vall\'ee, France. For the FPSAC'08 conference the chair and co-chair are: Luc Lapointe of the Universidad de Talca, and Bruce Sagan of Michigan State University.A distinguishing characteristic of FPSAC conferences is the concerted effort to recognize and encourage outstanding young scientists. This is accomplished in part by choosing at least one plenary speaker to be an ``emerging'' star (Eva-Maria Feichtner, Marcelo Aguiar and Jonathan Brundan) and by ensuring that talented young researchers are well represented among the speakers selected for contributed talks. Another special feature of the FPSAC conferences is a continuing effort to emphasize inclusiveness among participants. The conference seeks to draw substantial participation from groups which have been traditionally under-represented in the mathematical sciences. Attendance at these two conferences will be exceptionally valuable for graduate students and junior researchers. China has a vibrant community of researchers in combinatorics, and in recent years they have sought to significantly increase their international research collaborations.This will be a unique opportunity for graduate students andearly career resarchers to develop ties with Chinese researchers.FPSAC 2007 marks the first time this conference series willtake place in Asia. FPSAC 2008 also marks the first time this conference will be held in South America. In contrast to other countries in the region such as Argentina and Brazil, Chile still has a relatively small mathematical community. However, it has been fast growing in recent years. We are hopeful that FPSAC will bolster the efforts for the developement of mathematics in Chile,at the very least in the field of Discrete Math. There will be conference Proceedings for each of these two conferences.

2007年7月，第十九届FormalPower Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC)国际会议将在中国天津南开大学组合中心召开。2008年6月，第20届FPSAC国际会议将在智利瓦尔帕莱索召开。这笔赠款的资金将专门用于支持 45 名在美国大学学习或工作的研究生、博士后、早期职业研究人员和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员出席这两次会议。 传统上，FPSAC 会议有 9 位全体发言人、大约 30 场贡献演讲和 2 场墙报会议。参与者人数在 120 至 200 人之间，来自世界各地，其中 70 至 120 人是研究生和早期职业研究人员。 年度 FPSAC 会议的持续成功部分源于其相当大的跨学科广度——将组合数学领域的领先研究人员与纯数学和应用数学、理论计算机科学、物理学和生物学等相关领域的强大研究人员联系起来。该会议系列的跨度之大在以组合数学为重点的国际会议中是独一无二的。接下来的两次 FPSAC 会议的主要主题将是：代数和枚举组合学及其应用以及与数学、物理、生物学和计算机科学其他领域的关系。 全体会议发言人的选择证明了跨学科的跨度。中国的所有全体会议发言人均已确认参加。他们是：Bruce C. Berndt（美国伊利诺伊大学）、Philippe Biane（法国高等师范学院）、Anders Buch（美国罗格斯大学）、Maxime Crochemore（法国马恩拉瓦莱大学）、Eva-Maria Feichtner（德国斯图加特大学）、Sergey Fomin（美国密歇根大学）、Ezra Miller（美国明尼苏达大学）、Soichi Okada（日本名古屋大学）和 Peter Paule（奥地利林茨大学）。至于智利的 FPSAC'08，以下发言人已确认参加：Marcelo Aguiar（德克萨斯州上午）、Micheal Albert（新西兰奥塔哥大学）、Jonathan Brundan（美国俄勒冈大学）、Ian Grojnowski（英国剑桥大学）、Maria Ronco（智利瓦尔帕莱索大学）。 FPSAC'07 会议科学项目的主席和联合主席是：中国南开大学的 Bill Chen 和法国马恩拉瓦莱大学的 Jean-Yves Thibon。 FPSAC'08 会议的主席和联合主席是：塔尔卡大学的 Luc Lapointe 和密歇根州立大学的 Bruce Sagan。FPSAC 会议的一个显着特点是共同努力表彰和鼓励杰出的年轻科学家。 实现这一目标的部分方法是选择至少一名全体会议发言人作为“新兴”明星（伊娃-玛丽亚·费希特纳、马塞洛·阿吉亚尔和乔纳森·布伦丹），并确保有才华的年轻研究人员在选定参加演讲的发言人中得到充分代表。 FPSAC 会议的另一个特点是不断努力强调参与者的包容性。 该会议旨在吸引传统上在数学科学领域代表性不足的团体的大量参与。参加这两个会议对于研究生和初级研究人员来说非常有价值。 中国在组合学领域拥有一个充满活力的研究人员群体，近年来他们一直在寻求大幅增加国际研究合作。这对于研究生和早期职业研究人员来说将是一个与中国研究人员发展联系的独特机会。FPSAC 2007 标志着该会议系列首次在亚洲举行。 FPSAC 2008 也标志着该会议首次在南美洲举行。与阿根廷和巴西等该地区其他国家相比，智利的数学界仍然相对较小。 然而，近年来它增长迅速。 我们希望 FPSAC 能够支持智利数学的发展，至少是在离散数学领域。这两个会议都会有会议论文集。
