Symposium entitled, Materials Structures - The Nabarro Legacy, at MRS Meeting, San Francisco, CA, March 24-28, 2008

技术：材料结构-纳巴罗遗产(研讨会Z)将于2008年3月24-28日在加利福尼亚州旧金山举行的材料研究学会2008年春季会议上举行。本次研讨会的重点是弗兰克·纳巴罗教授在过去66年里的工作对现代材料科学和工程的影响。研讨会将是一次全面的会议，聚集了该领域的长期倡导者和‘材料科学青年’，重点关注F·R·N·纳巴罗教授的遗产和遗产如何以多种方式影响技术进步。组织者选择了特邀演讲者，他们的研究活动反映了该领域的多学科和国际性。研讨会的目的是为来自学术界、政府和工业实验室的研究人员提供一个跨学科的论坛，就了解材料微观结构的最新基本进展及其对先进材料开发和应用的影响进行互动、讨论和交流意见。非技术性：PIS认为，能够部分资助旅行并支付参加会议的费用，将使更广泛、更具代表性的人口出席和参与研讨会，并最终加强在材料科学和工程领域的代表性。PIS将特别努力鼓励全国各地的研究小组支持本科生参加海报会议，作为让学生在教育经历的早期阶段接触高水平研究的一种手段，并通过这些手段增加研究的可及性。材料研究学会(MRS)是一个跨学科的专业组织，致力于促进1)材料性质和性能的研究，以及2)大学、政府实验室和工业实验室的研究人员之间的互动。

TECHNICAL: The Materials Structure - Nabarro Legacy (Symposium Z) will be held at the 2008 spring meeting of the Materials Research Society in San Francisco, CA from March 24-28, 2008. This symposium focuses on the impact of Professor Frank Nabarro's work over the last 66 years on modern-day materials science and engineering. The symposium will be a comprehensive meeting bringing together standing exponents in the field and the 'materials science youth' focusing on how the heritage and legacy of Professor F. R. N. Nabarro affects the advancement of technology in manifold ways. The organizers have chosen invited speakers whose research activities reflect the multidisciplinary and international nature of the field. The intent of the symposium is to provide researchers from academics, government and industrial laboratories an interdisciplinary forum for interaction, discussion and exchange of ideas on recent fundamental advances in understanding materials microstructures and the resulting impact on the development and application of advanced materials. NON-TECHNICAL: PIs believe that being able to partially support travel and to cover the costs of attending the meeting will allow a wider, more representative population to attend and participate in the symposium and eventually, to strengthen representation in the area of materials science and engineering. PIs will in particular, attempt to encourage research groups across the country to support undergraduate participation in the poster sessions, as a means of exposing students to a high level of research at an early stage of their educational experience, and through these means, enhance accessibility to research. The Materials Research Society (MRS) is an interdisciplinary professional organization dedicated to the promotion of 1) research on materials properties and performance, and 2) interaction among researchers in the universities, government laboratories, and industrial laboratories.
