U.S.-Poland Workshop on Nanoscale Phenomena in Materials and at Interfaces: June 7-10, 2010 in Krakow, Poland

0935979 Monson该奖项为将于2010年6月7日至10日在波兰克拉科夫举行的“材料和界面中的纳米现象”研讨会提供团体旅行支持。地点是克拉科夫的波兰艺术与科学学院。该讲习班是前两次在波兹南（2006年）和格但斯克（2008年）成功举办的讲习班的后续行动，并以这两次讲习班为基础。拟议讲习班的目的是鼓励美国和波兰在这一领域的研究人员之间进行更密切的科学接触和更长期的科学合作。该研讨会将涉及大约15-16名来自美国的参与者和15-20名来自波兰的参与者，初级，中级和高级研究人员之间的平衡，以及双方相似或互补的研究兴趣。研讨会的参与者将代表广泛的研究兴趣，例如，软材料和硬材料，生物材料，聚合物，聚合，自组装，复杂流体，微乳液，表面科学，界面现象，催化，胶体，吸附，粘附，流变学，计算纳米科学和薄膜。来自波兰的这些领域的年轻研究人员将出席会议，提交海报文件，并在整个会议期间与高级与会者互动。拟议的讲习班预计将在与会者之间开展个人和机构合作。以前的研讨会非常成功，并导致美国和波兰参与者之间的许多研究联系和合作，预计本次研讨会将在这方面同样成功。波兰青年研究人员参加讲习班将使美国与会者对波兰这一领域的研究有更广泛的了解。该项目的预算还包括资助一些年轻工作者在讲习班后的一年内访问美国实验室的资金。研讨会结束后，美国代表将访问波兰的其他机构，以了解更多的研究活动，并探讨两国研究合作的进一步可能性。这种研究合作将丰富两国的研究和教育基础设施。

0935979MonsonThis award provides group travel support for a workshop on "Nanoscale Phenomena in Materials and at Interfaces," to be held in Krakow, Poland on June 7-10, 2010. The location is the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences in Krakow. The Workshop is a follow-up to and builds upon two earlier and successful Workshops held in Poznan (2006) and Gdansk (2008).Intellectual Merit. The purpose of the proposed Workshop is to encourage closer scientific contacts and longer term scientific collaboration between researchers in this area from the U.S. and Poland. The Workshop will involve approximately 15-16 participants from the U.S. and 15-20 from Poland, with a balance between junior, midcareer, and senior researchers, and with similar or complementary research interests on the two sides. The workshop participants will represent a broad spectrum of research interests, for example, soft and hard materials, bio-materials, polymers, polymerization, self assembly, complex fluids, microemulsions, surface science, interfacial phenomena, catalysis, colloids, adsorption, adhesion, rheology, computational nanoscience, and thin films. Young researchers in these areas from Poland will attend the meeting, present poster papers, and interact with the senior participants throughout the meeting.Broader Impact. The proposed workshop is expected to initiate individual and institutional collaboration among the participants. The previous workshops proved highly successful and led to numerous research contacts and collaborations between U.S. and Polish participants, and it is anticipated that this workshop will be equally successful in this regard. The participation of young Polish researchers at the Workshop will offer the U.S. participants a much broader view of research in this area in Poland. The project budget also includes funds to support visits to U.S. laboratories by some of these young workers in the year following the workshop. U.S. participants will visit other institutions in Poland after the Workshop, to learn more about research activities and to explore further possibilities for research cooperation between the two countries. Such research cooperation will enrich the research and education infrastructure of both countries.
