Group Travel Funding: XVI International Conference on Mechanics of Composite Materials

这笔奖金将用于资助美国代表团参加2010年5月24日至28日在拉脱维亚首都里加举行的第16届复合材料力学（MCM）会议。MCM会议由拉脱维亚的几个组织组织，是在东欧地区举行的结构复合材料的主要国际会议系列。这种旅行支持的目标是使不同群体的美国代表能够参与其中，他们将发表论文并与一组在东欧地区以外的会议上不常见的复合研究人员进行互动，从而促进新思想和机会的交流。

This award will support the travel expenses of an American delegation to attend the XVI Mechanics of Composite Materials (MCM) Conference in Riga, Latvia on May 24-28, 2010. The MCM conference, organized by several organizations in Latvia, is the premier international conference series on structural composites held in the eastern European region. The goal of this travel support is to enable the participation of a diverse group US delegates who will present papers and interact with a group of composites researchers not often seen at conferences outside the eastern European region, thereby facilitating the communication of new ideas and opportunities in both directions.
