Conference: Essential Cosmology for the Next Generation; January 2010; Playa del Carmen, Mexico

该奖项为将于2010年1月11日至15日在墨西哥普拉亚德尔卡门举行的“下一代基本宇宙学”国际会议提供部分支持。它是由伯克利宇宙物理中心（BCCP）和墨西哥高级宇宙学研究所（IAC）联合赞助的，该研究所汇集了来自18个学术机构的45名研究人员。会议将把小型课程与全体会议和论文结合起来。组织者预计约有100名参与者，其中约有90名初级参与者（学生和博士后）。预计三分之二的参与者将来自墨西哥，其余来自美国。美国国家科学基金会将为30名美国青年参与者提供一半的旅费、住宿费和注册费。与IAC的合作将使美国学生和博士后接触到国际研究的各个方面。会议过程将进行网络直播并存档，以供日后观看，让更多的观众观看。会议期间计划为当地社区进行一次公开演讲。

This award provides partial support for the international meeting "Essential Cosmology for the Next Generation" to be held in Playa del Carmen, Mexico from 11-15 January 2010. It is sponsored jointly by the Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics (BCCP) and the Mexican Advanced Institute for Cosmology (IAC), an organization bringing together 45 researchers at 18 academic institutions. The meeting will combine mini-courses with plenary talks and contributed papers. The organizers expect about 100 attendees, with roughly 90 junior participants (students and postdocs). Two-thirds of the participants are expected to be from Mexico, with the rest from the US. NSF funding will cover half of the travel, lodging and registration costs for 30 US junior participants. The collaboration with IAC will expose US students and postdocs to international aspects of research. Proceedings will be webcast and archived for later viewing, allowing a broader audience. A public talk for the local community is planned during the meeting.
