Support of the 16th International Symposium on the Reactivity of Solids; Minneapolis, MN

这个关于固体反应性的国际研讨会将于2007年6月在明尼苏达大学举行。上一次在美国举行的会议是1988年在新泽西州普林斯顿举行的。它也得到了国家科学基金会的支持。固体反应性国际研讨会（ISRS）是一个跨学科的专业团体，致力于促进材料性能和性能的跨学科研究，特别强调反应性如何影响材料的合成，性能和性能。研讨会鼓励大学、政府实验室和工业实验室的研究人员之间的互动。它将汇集化学家，地质学家，物理学家和材料科学家，讨论与无机材料有关的主要科学问题。这项建议的一个特别目的是鼓励代表性不足的群体和刚刚开始职业生涯的年轻科学家参与，以便他们能够与所在领域的领导者互动。会议的结果将在《材料科学杂志》上发表，以尽可能多的读者了解。

This International Symposium on the Reactivity of Solids will be held at the University of Minnesota in June 2007. The last meeting in the U.S. was in 1988 at Princeton, NJ. It was also supported by the National Science Foundation. The International Symposium on the Reactivity of Solids (ISRS) is an interdisciplinary professional group dedicated to the promotion of interdisciplinary research on materials properties and performance with a particular emphasis on how the reactivity effects the synthesis, properties and performance of the material. The symposium encourages interactions among researchers in universities, government laboratories, and industrial laboratories. It will bring together chemists, geologists, physicists and materials scientists to discuss the leading scientific issues relating to inorganic materials.%%%A particular purpose of this proposal is to encourage the participation of underrepresented groups and junior scientists just beginning their careers, so that they can interact with the leaders in their field. The results of the meeting will be disseminated by publication in the Journal of Materials Science, thus reaching the largest possible audience.
