The purpose of this project is to promote student participation in the long-running EDBT/ICDT conference series, to be held in March 2012 in Berlin, Germany. This will be the 15th EDBT and 15th ICDT, and will be the 4th year continuously that the two conferences are run as a joint one. These two conferences are internationally leading database systems and theory conferences, and have been well attended by the leading researchers in the area from all over the world. Being in Europe, the joint conference tends to attract more European researchers than other database conferences do. This student travel grant will encourage the interaction of the US students with their counterparts and senior researchers from Europe and elsewhere, increasing the international awareness of the participating US students. Students participation of international scientific discussion forums is always an important part of their education and a great way to build a mature work force in scientific research. The project will also emphasize on recruiting under-represented groups of students in this effort.

该项目的目的是促进学生参与将于2012年3月在德国柏林举行的长期EDBT/ICDT会议系列。这将是第15届EDBT和第15届ICDT，也是这两个会议连续第4年联合举办。这两个会议都是国际领先的数据库系统和理论会议，并得到了来自世界各地的该领域的领先研究人员的广泛参与。由于在欧洲，联合会议往往比其他数据库会议吸引更多的欧洲研究人员。这笔学生旅费补助将鼓励美国学生与来自欧洲和其他地方的同行和高级研究人员进行互动，提高参与美国学生的国际意识。学生参与国际科学讨论论坛始终是他们教育的重要组成部分，也是建立一支成熟的科研队伍的重要途径。该项目还将强调招募代表性不足的学生群体。
