Travel Awards to Attend the Twelfth Asian Logic Conference

这笔资金用于支持12名美国年轻研究人员作为演讲者参加将于2011年12月15-20日在新西兰惠灵顿维多利亚大学举行的第十二届亚洲逻辑大会的特别会议和全体讲座。除一人外，所有被寻求资助的人的旅行支持要么非常有限，要么没有其他方式。一年两次的亚洲逻辑会议是北美以外逻辑上最重要的会议之一，这将是它第一次在亚洲大陆以外的地方举行。该课程包括当前最感兴趣的领域(算法随机性、图和拟阵的逻辑方面、模态逻辑、集合论)，演讲者包括世界领先的专家。这一活动为年轻研究人员在世界舞台上展示他们的工作提供了一个重要平台，并为年轻的美国研究人员提供了在亚太地区建立战略联系的绝佳机会。

This grant provides funds to support twelve U.S.-based young researchers to participate as speakers in the special sessions and plenary lectures at the Twelfth Asian Logic Conference, to be held December 15-20, 2011 at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, one the major centers of logic in the world. All but one of those for whom funds are sought have either very limited or no other means of travel support.The biannual Asian Logic Conference is one of the most important meetings in logic outside of North America, and this the first time it will be held outside of continental Asia. The program includes areas of great current interest (Algorithmic randomness, Logical Aspects of Graphs and Matroids, Modal Logic, Set Theory) and speakers include leading world experts. This event provides an important platform for young researchers to present their work on a world stage and presents excellent opportunities for young U.S. based researchers to make strategic contacts in the Asia-Pacific region.
