This award supports an international workshop to be convened in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2013 by Dr. James H. Smith (University of California, Davis). The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers from the United States, Europe, and Africa who are experts on the social consequences of the extractive mining of mineral resources. The conference will enable scientists to share their findings to date, to establish international research collaborations, and to plan for future research. Minerals such as coltan, cassiterite, and wolframite are of critical importance both for local African economies and governments and also for modern technologies and global trade. The workshop will also support graduate education by including American graduate students.

该奖项将支持James H博士于2013年在刚果民主共和国举办的国际研讨会。史密斯（加州大学戴维斯分校）。研讨会的目的是汇集来自美国，欧洲和非洲的研究人员，他们是矿产资源采掘的社会后果方面的专家。会议将使科学家能够分享他们迄今为止的发现，建立国际研究合作，并规划未来的研究。钶钽铁矿石、黑钨矿等矿物对非洲当地经济和政府以及现代技术和全球贸易都至关重要。 研讨会还将通过包括美国研究生来支持研究生教育。
