Student Travel for Magnetism Summer School. To be held in Chennai, India, May 22-28, 2012.

SummaryFunds项目被要求为参加2012年印度金奈IEEE磁学协会暑期学校的美国研究生提供旅行支持。磁学暑期学校是IEEE磁学学会？S的主要外展活动，旨在促进磁学领域的教育，吸引更多的年轻科学家选择磁学及相关领域的研究事业。为期一周的磁学暑期学校是为学习磁学的研究生设计的，将包括国际专家的讲座，并将包括参与的毕业生的海报演示。该计划将涵盖磁学的基础知识和高级主题。这个暑假学校是年轻科学家在轻松和合作的氛围中结识所在领域的领导者并开始在国际研究界建立同事网络的独特机会。从NSF申请的资金将为美国研究生提供更多进入暑期学校的机会。智力价值暑期学校为交流磁学研究领域的信息提供了一个论坛。除了正式的讲座外，每个参与的学生都被要求提交一张关于他们目前研究的海报。学生和讲师在海报会议上讨论这些话题。广泛的影响暑期学校的更广泛的影响在于在一个快速发展的经济重要领域对年轻科学家和研究人员的教育。参与者将通过国际知名专家的讲座学习基础和高级主题。此外，还有一定程度的文化教育，教年轻科学家与来自其他国家的同事互动并尊重他们。暑期学校的组织者特别鼓励女性和代表不足的少数族裔申请。该计划委员会还努力争取为暑期学校挑选的讲师多样化，为女性和少数族裔学生提供榜样。

Project SummaryFunds are requested to provide travel support for U.S. graduates students to attendthe 2012 IEEE Magnetics Society Summer School in Chennai, India. The MagnetismSummer School is the IEEE Magnetics Society?s main outreach effort to promoteeducation in the field of magnetism and attract more young scientists to choose a researchcareer in magnetism and related areas. The one-week Magnetism Summer School isdesigned for graduate students studying magnetism, will consist of lectures byinternational experts and will include poster presentations by participating graduatestudents. The program will cover fundamentals and advanced topics in magnetism. Thesummer school is a unique opportunity for young scientists to meet leaders in their fieldin a relaxed and collegial atmosphere and to begin establishing a network of colleagues inthe international research community. The funds requested from NSF will provideadditional opportunities for U.S. graduate students to attend the Summer School.Intellectual MeritThe Summer School provides a forum for exchange of information in the field ofmagnetics research. In addition to formal lectures, each participating student is requiredto present a poster about their current research. These topics are discussed amongst thestudents and lecturers during poster sessions.Broader ImpactThe broader impact of the Summer School lies in the education of youngscientists and researchers in a fast-moving and economically important field. Participantswill learn both fundamental as well as advanced topics through lectures delivered byinternationally-renowned experts. In addition, there is a degree of cultural education,teaching young scientists to interact with and respect their colleagues from othercountries. The organizers of the Summer School particularly encourage women andunderrepresented minorities to apply. The program committee also strives for diversity in the lecturers selected for the summer school to provide role models for female and minority students.
