STUDENT SUPPORT FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON PLASMA CHEMISTRY, ISPC-2011

该奖项的主要目的是支持美国学生和研究人员参加将于2011年7月24日至29日在费城洛斯酒店举行的两年一度的等离子体化学国际研讨会（ISPC-2011）。提供资金，为最多40名美国研究生和博士后提供部分支持，用于参加会议期间的交通费、住宿费和注册费。部分资金还计划用于扩大工业界专家的参与，以加强大学/工业界在等离子化学领域的合作。要获得资格，研究论文的摘要必须提交给国际组委会，并附有描述过去，现在和未来研究的个人信件以及学生的支持信。科学顾问。两年一次的论坛由国际等离子体化学学会组织，重点关注等离子体在该领域的基础科学和先进应用。它的宗旨是成为一个交流等离子体化学领域最新成果的论坛，同时也为那些新进入该领域的人提供一个教学环境。因此，ISPC-2011将汇集等离子体化学领域的主要权威人士，以及初级研究人员、工程师和科学家。受邀演讲嘉宾将来自美国、加拿大、中南美洲、西欧和东欧、俄罗斯、日本、中国和东南亚的工业界和大学。预计将有多达1000名科学家和工程师参加此次研讨会。预计将有至少250名学生和年轻研究人员参加ISPC-2011。其中约100至150人将来自美国。更广泛的影响是在技术和教育领域。会议的目的是促进上述一系列技术进步。在教育方面，上述的指导经验是通过正式的讲座和海报会议，以及学生在非正式讨论期间与该领域的领导者互动的机会获得的。研讨会之前还将为新进入该领域的人举办一个关于等离子基础、产生和应用的暑期学校。

The main objective of this award is to support U.S. students and researchers to participate in the biennial International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry, ISPC-2011, to be held July 24-29, 2011, at the Lowes Hotel in Philadelphia. Funding is provided to provide partial support for up to 40 US graduate and postdoctoral students for travel expenses, lodging, and registration fees while attending the conference. Some portion of the funding is planned also to be used to extend participation of specialists from industry to intensify university/industry collaborations in the field of plasma chemistry. To qualify, the digest of a research paper must be submitted to the International Organizing Committee, accompanied by a personal letter describing the past, current and future research and by a letter of support from the student?s scientific advisor.The biennial forum is organized by the International Society of Plasma Chemistry, focusing on both the fundamental science and advanced applications of plasmas in this field. Its charter is to be a forum for exchange of the state-of-the-art achievements in plasma chemistry and also a tutorial environment for those new to the field. As such, ISPC-2011 will bring together leading authorities, as well as beginning researchers, engineers and scientists, in the field of Plasma Chemistry. Invited speakers will come from industry and universities in the US, Canada, South and Central America, western and eastern Europe, Russia, Japan, China, and southeast Asia. It is expected that up to 1,000 scientists and engineers will attend the symposium. The expectation is to have at least 250 students and young researchers at ISPC-2011. About 100 to 150 of them will be from the US.Broader impacts are in technology and education. The conference is intended to aid a range of technological advances, as described above. Educationally, the tutorial experience mentioned above is obtained through the formal lectures and poster sessions and by the opportunities the students have to interact with the leaders in the field during the informal discussion times. The symposium will also be preceded by a summer school on plasma fundamentals, generation and applications for the newcomers into the field.
