Student Travel Stipends for ICOM 2008

CBET-0835536科恩申请旅行基金，以部分支持来自全国各地的24名美国大学生参加2008年7月13日至18日在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁举行的国际膜大会(ICOMC)。这笔资金将用于帮助那些以作者或共同作者的身份参加口头和海报演示的学生。这笔资金将用于支付参加会议的学生的注册费、住宿费和机票费用。这些资金将用于提供24笔津贴，每笔500美元。还向从事膜制造、从事膜技术一般领域的工作或与膜科学和技术有关联的各种公司征集了对学生的额外旅行资助。这些学生将有机会参加会议，并与来自世界各地的学者和专业人士互动。学生参与者将与来自世界各地的顶尖科学家互动和讨论膜科学和技术的各个方面，获得对自己研究工作的反馈，并增进自己对膜科学及其技术应用的最新知识。国际博协2008是世界上最大的膜技术会议(每三年举行一次)，将包括54个关于基础和应用膜科学和技术的前沿技术会议。预计将有来自世界各地的1000多名膜研究人员，代表行业、政府和学术机构。ICOM2008由北美膜学会(NAMS)主办，由北美膜学会、欧洲膜学会和东盟膜学会三大膜学会联合主办。学生支持也将产生广泛的影响，因为它将提高美国大学的国际知名度，展示美国学生研究的高水平，并有助于吸引即将到来的年轻一代专业人员进入快速增长的膜科学和技术领域。

CBET-0835536CohenTravel funds are requested to partially support the participation of 24 US university students from across the country at the International Congress on Membranes (ICOM) July 13-18, 2008 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The funds will be used to assist those students who are participating as authors or co-authors in oral and poster presentations. The funds will be used to cover registration, housing, and airfare costs for students attending the meeting. Funds will be used to provide 24 stipends of $500 each. Additional travel support for students has been solicited from various companies that are engaged in the manufacturing of membranes, working in the general area of membrane technology or with a stake in membrane science and technology. The students will be given the opportunity to attend conference sessions, and interact with academics and professionals from around the world. The student participants will interact and discuss various aspects of membrane science and technology with leading scientists from around the world, get feedback on their own research work, and advance their own knowledge of the sate-of-the-art in membrane science and its technological applications. ICOM 2008, the largest membrane technology meeting in the world (held every three years), will consist of 54 cutting-edge technical sessions on fundamental and applied membrane science and technology. Over 1,000 membrane researchers are expected from all various parts of the world representing industry, government, and academic institutions. ICOM 2008 is organized by the North American Membrane Society (NAMS) and is co-sponsored by the three major membrane societies in the world, NAMS, the European Membrane Society, and the Aseanian Membrane Society. Student support will also have broad impacts as it will increase the international visibility of U.S. Universities, demonstrate the high level of student research in the U.S., and help to attract an upcoming young generation of professionals to the rapidly growing areas of membrane science and technology.
