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Cargese举办的暑期骨折学校。暑期学校的目标是：(i)汇集国际知名的多学科研究人员-物理学家，统计物理学家，材料科学家和工程师-讨论当前的研究和未来的趋势，并相互交流；（ii）通过为研究生和博士后设立暑期学校来实现这一目标，以便将年轻的研究人员带入该领域。暑期学校的设置特别有用，因为课程将以课堂形式呈现，并附有详细的描述。这种形式也使不同研究小组之间的良好互动和潜在合作成为可能。为了总结报告和评估潜在的研究领域，计划进行两次小组讨论。暑期学校将为来自世界各地的约30名研究生和博士后提供教育机会，他们将接触到骨折的高级主题，以及来自世界专家的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，也培养了一种多学科的方法。主要的更广泛的影响是下一代研究人员在骨折领域的教育和培训。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.
