Travel Awards to Attend the First International Meeting of the American Mathematical Society and the Sociedad de Matematica de Chile

该项目资助旅行奖励，以支持六名美国研究人员参加2010年12月15-18日在智利普肯举行的美国数学学会和智利数学学会第一届国际会议上关于代数和模型理论的特别会议。将优先考虑博士生或在最近8-10年内获得博士学位的研究人员。S表示，他们的旅行资助有限或没有其他途径。希望特别会议和可能的卫星会议将提供美国和南美逻辑学家之间的广泛互动，超越已经建立起来的研究联系，并向更广泛的南美数学界展示南美逻辑的活力。负责管理该项目的符号逻辑协会是国际领先的逻辑学家专业协会，其成员包括计算机科学、认知科学、语言学、数学和哲学的研究人员。它在世界各地组织和主办一些重要会议。在北美和欧洲以外，特别是在拉丁美洲和亚洲，提高逻辑的能见度和存在是该协会的最高长期优先事项之一。该协会还通过其活动和出版物，积极寻求拥抱逻辑在其中发挥重要作用的新的和新兴的领域，包括计算机科学、语言学和认知科学。欲了解更多有关该协会的信息，请访问该协会的网站：http://www.aslonline.org.。

This project funds travel awards to support six U.S. based researchers to participate in the Special Session on Algebra and Model Theory at the First International Meeting of the American Mathematical Society and the Sociedad de Matematica de Chile in Pucon, Chile, December 15-18, 2010. Preference will be given to participants who are Ph.D. students or are researchers who earned their Ph.D.'s within the last 8-10 years and have limited or no other means of travel support. It is hoped that the Special Session and a possible satellite meeting will provide for extensive interaction between U.S. and South American logicians beyond already well-established research contacts and display the vitality of logic in South America to the broader South American mathematical community. The Association for Symbolic Logic, which will administer the project, is the leading international professional society for logicians, whose membership includes researchers in computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, mathematics, and philosophy. It organizes and sponsors a number of important meetings throughout the world. Increasing the visibility and presence of logic outside North America and Europe, particularly in Latin America and Asia, is one of the Association's highest long-term priorities. The Association, through its activities and publications, also actively seeks to embrace new and emerging fields in which logic has come to play an important role, including computer science, linguistics, and cognitive science.
