Travel Awards to Attend the Fifteenth Latin American Symposium on Mathematical Logic

该奖项为9名美国研究人员和11名美国大学的博士生提供差旅支持，以参加将于2012年6月4-8日在哥伦比亚波哥大举行的第十五届拉丁美洲数理逻辑研讨会。大多数应该获得资金的人要么得到的旅行支持非常有限，要么没有其他旅行工具。1970年首次在智利圣地亚哥举行的两年一度的拉丁美洲数理逻辑研讨会，在拉丁美洲数理逻辑的发展和活力方面发挥了核心作用。虽然在该区域举行的研究活动的水平和具有国际声望的专门会议的数量继续增加，但拉丁美洲数理逻辑专题讨论会仍然是最大的泛美逻辑会议。该项目包括当前非常感兴趣的领域，演讲者包括世界领先的专家。这次活动为美国和拉丁美洲的研究人员与学生之间提供了一个重要的平台，让他们在已经建立起来的研究联系之外进行广泛的互动。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，是符号逻辑协会的最高长期战略重点之一。

This award provides travel support to nine U.S.-based researchers and eleven Ph.D. students at U.S. universities to participate in the Fifteenth Latin American Symposium on Mathematical Logic, to be held June 4?8, 2012 at Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, Colombia, a major center of logic in Latin America. Most of those for whom funds ares ought have either very limited or no other means of travel support.The biannual Latin American Symposium on Mathematical Logic, first held in Santiago, Chile in 1970, has played a central role in the growth and vitality of mathematical logic in Latin America. While the level of research activity and the number of specialized conferences of international prestige that are held in the region continues to increase, the Latin American Symposium on Mathematical Logic remains the largest Pan-American logic meeting. The program includes areas of great current interest, and speakers include leading world experts.This event provides an important platform for extensive interaction between U.S. and Latin American researchers and students beyond already well-established research contacts. Increasing the visibility and presence of logic outside North America and Europe, particularly in Latin America and Asia, is one of the Association for Symbolic Logic?s highest long-term strategic priorities.
