Summer School on Fracture; Institut d'Etudes Scientifuques de Cargese, Cargese, France; June 7-19, 2010

该项目将支持将于 2010 年 6 月 7 日至 19 日在法国卡尔热斯举办的断裂暑期学校。暑期学校的目标是： (i) 汇集国际知名研究人员——物理学家、统计物理学家、材料科学家和工程师——组成的多学科小组，讨论当前的研究和未来趋势，并相互交流； (ii) 通过为研究生和博士后研究员举办暑期学校来实现这一目标，以便年轻的研究人员能够进入该领域。暑期学校的设置特别有用，因为讲座将以课堂形式进行，并有详细的描述。这种形式还可以促进不同研究人员群体之间的良好互动和潜在合作。计划举行两场小组讨论，以总结演讲内容并评估潜在的研究领域。暑期学校将为来自世界各地的约 30 名研究生和博士后研究员提供教育机会，他们将接触到骨折的高级主题以及世界专家当前和未来的研究趋势。通过将物理学家、材料科学家和工程师聚集在一起，还形成了多学科方法。主要的更广泛影响是骨折领域下一代研究人员的教育和培训。暑期学校还具有全球影响力，将来自不同国家的讲师和学生聚集在一起。

This project will support the Summer School on Fracture to be held in Cargese, France, June 7-19, 2010. The objectives of the Summer School are: (i) to bring together a multidisciplinary group of internationally renowned researchers - physicists, statistical physicists, materials scientists, and engineers - to discuss current research and future trends, and to interact with each other; (ii) to accomplish this in the setting of a Summer School for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows so that young researchers can be brought into the field. The setting of the Summer School is particularly useful because the lectures are to be presented in a classroom format, with detailed descriptions. This format also enables good interactions and potential collaborations between the different groups of researchers. Two sessions of panel discussions are planned in order to summarize the presentations and to evaluate potential areas of research.The Summer School will provide an educational opportunity for about 30 graduate students and post-doctoral fellows from around the world who will be exposed to advanced topics in fracture, and current and future research trends from world experts. A multi-disciplinary approach is also cultivated by bringing together physicists, materials scientists and engineers. The predominant broader impact is the education and training of the next generation of researchers in the area of fracture. The Summer School also has a global reach, in the sense of bringing together both lecturers and students from different countries.
