Halophiles-2007: 7th International Congress Exploring Life at High Salinity

这是一项国际旅行补助金，以帮助支付学生、博士后研究人员和其他年轻研究人员参加2007年嗜盐者会议的费用：2007年9月2-6日，在英国科尔切斯特的埃塞克斯大学举行的第七届探索高盐度生命国际大会。嗜盐者2007会议是一个多学科的国际会议，自1978年以来，有很强的定期三年一度的会议的历史。在集中讨论生命和病毒的所有三个领域的嗜盐生物的同时，会议还讨论了高盐度和水活动减少的其他条件(例如干燥、冻结、高有机溶质浓度)之间的共性。这次会议的主要目的是利用许多学科的专业知识，以促进我们对高盐环境中生命的理解，进而促进对其他科学领域的理解。特别是，这次会议针对的是年轻科学家：一些助理教授已被增加为特邀演讲者，他们将获得免费通道并有机会发言。为此，组织者将通过向美国本科生、研究生和博士后研究人员提供旅行补助金来支付他们的费用，从而增加他们的参与。申请程序将针对任职人数不足的群体的成员

This is an international travel grant to help cover the costs of students, postdoctoral researchers and other young investigators to attend the Halophiles-2007: 7th International Congress Exploring Life at High Salinity, 2-6 September 2007, University of Essex, Colchester, UK.The Halophiles 2007 meeting is a multidisciplinary international congress, with a strong history of regular triennial meetings since 1978. While focusing on halophilic organisms from all three domains of life and viruses, the conference also addresses commonalities between high salinity and other conditions in which water activity is reduced (e.g. desiccation, freezing, high organic solute concentration). The overarching aim for this meeting is to draw on expertise from numerous disciplines in order to enable advances in our understanding of life in high-salt environments, and in turn for the improved understanding to enhance other areas of science.In particular, this meeting is aimed at young scientists: A number of Assistant Professors have been added as invited speakers and will be given free passage and an opportunity to present. To this end, the organizers will increase the participation of US undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-doctoral researchers by offering them travel grants to defray the cost of their expenses. The application process will be aimed at members of underrepresented groups
