NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: This program will enable a group of scientists and engineers early in their careers to attend the 2007 International Conference on Electroceramics. The conference will be held in Arusha, Tanzania. Supporting this travel has two important outcomes: 1) A diverse group of young researchers will participate in a conference venue involving the world's leading researchers in the fundamentally and commercially important field of electronic ceramic materials, and 2) The group will receive an important introduction to East African culture and establish ties to African scientists that form future collaborations beneficial to our respective countries. This travel assistance program will involve greater than 50% participation by groups underrepresented in science and engineering.TECHNICAL DETAILS: Electroceramic materials serve as the foundation for numerous existing technologies and the source for new property-performance combinations that contribute to the world's most important technical needs. To meet these challenges a continuous influx of bright young researchers must be recruited and trained. Providing this travel experience to a group of NSF Travel Fellows will influence career paths, support a diverse and vibrant scientific community, and maintain the leadership role of the United States in science and technology.This award is co-funded by NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering.

非技术描述：该计划将使一组科学家和工程师在他们的职业生涯早期参加2007年国际会议电瓷。会议将在坦桑尼亚的阿鲁沙举行。支持这次旅行有两个重要的成果：1）一个多元化的年轻研究人员小组将参加一个会议场地，其中包括电子陶瓷材料这一基础和商业重要领域的世界领先研究人员，2）该小组将获得对东非文化的重要介绍，并与非洲科学家建立联系，形成有利于我们各自国家的未来合作。这项旅行援助计划将涉及超过50%的科学和工程领域的弱势群体参与。技术优势：电瓷材料是众多现有技术的基础，也是新的性能组合的来源，有助于满足世界上最重要的技术需求。为了应对这些挑战，必须招募和培训不断涌入的优秀年轻研究人员。为一组NSF旅行研究员提供这种旅行体验将影响职业道路，支持多元化和充满活力的科学界，并保持美国在科学和技术方面的领导地位。该奖项由NSF国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。
