This grant will provide partial support for American graduate and postdoctoral students to participate in an international 2nd Graduate Summer Institute on Complex Plasmas, which will be held from August 4 to August 14, 2010 at the University of Greifswald in Greifswald, Germany. The stated goal is educational advancement of the scientific challenges and technological opportunities afforded by complex plasmas. The summer school will treat dusty and strongly coupled plasmas, reactive plasmas, microplasmas, quantum plasmas, and plasmas in contact with surfaces. This broad yet rigorous curriculum will lead to further advancement in this new and emerging field by attracting young American researchers in significant numbers since they will encounter scientific challenges as well as technological opportunities in these areas upon which they can build a successful academic or industrial careers. Further, the emerging complex plasma applications appear to be a remarkable fertile field for small, high-tech start-up companies which will perceive this field as a favorable innovation source for marketplace realization of basic plasma concepts.

本基金将部分资助美国研究生和博士后参加将于2010年8月4日至8月14日在德国格赖夫斯瓦尔德大学举行的第二届国际研究生暑期复杂等离子体研究项目。其既定目标是在复杂等离子体所带来的科学挑战和技术机遇方面的教育进步。暑期学校将处理灰尘和强耦合等离子体、反应等离子体、微等离子体、量子等离子体和与表面接触的等离子体。这种广泛而严谨的课程将吸引大量年轻的美国研究人员，从而在这一新兴领域取得进一步的进步，因为他们将在这些领域遇到科学挑战和技术机会，在此基础上他们可以建立成功的学术或工业生涯。此外，新兴的复杂等离子体应用对于小型高科技初创公司来说似乎是一个非常肥沃的领域，这些公司将把这一领域视为基本等离子体概念在市场上实现的有利创新来源。
