US/Korea Workshop on Collaboration in Advanced Manufacturing Research; Seoul, Korea; 25-28 March 2013

这笔奖金将资助一个由大约20名专家组成的美国代表团参加在韩国首尔举行的研讨会，与来自韩国的类似数量的研究人员讨论先进制造问题。研讨会将于2013年3月举行，韩国代表团将由韩国国家研究基金会主办。研讨会的目标是确定由国内国家科学基金会和韩国国家研究基金会支持的学术研究人员共同感兴趣的研究课题。研讨会的讨论将集中在四个主题领域：工业机器人、制造数学、材料加工以及亚微米和纳米制造。在研讨会之前，将对韩国重要的制造业研究设施进行为期两天的参观，使美国代表团更好地了解韩国现有的专门知识和研究设施领域。讲习班本身也将为期两天。研讨会的结果将是一份详细介绍韩国和美国之间有益合作领域的报告，预计将提出这些领域的研究建议。这次研讨会将促进学术研究方面的国际合作，特别是在研讨会的四个主题领域。通过这样做，它将加快这些领域的研究。此外，它还将帮助学生获得国际视野，拓宽他们的教育经验。

This award will fund a United States delegation of about 20 experts to attend a workshop in Seoul, Republic of Korea (ROK), to discuss advanced manufacturing with a similar number of researchers from the ROK. The workshop will be held in March, 2013, and the ROK delegation will be hosted by the Korean National Research Foundation. The goal of the workshop is to identify research topics of mutual interest to academic researchers supported by National Science Foundation domestically, and by the Korean National Research Foundation in Korea. The workshop discussions will focus in four topical areas: industrial robotics, manufacturing mathematics, materials processing and sub-micron and nano-manufacturing. The workshop will be preceeded by two days of tours of important Korean manufacturing research facilities to give the United Stated delegation a better understanding of the areas of expertise and research facilities available in Korea. The workshop itself will also be two days in duration. The result of the workshop will be a report detailing areas for beneficial collaboration between Korea and the United States with the expectation that it will be followed up with proposals for research in these areas.This workshop will promote international collaboration in academic research, particularly in the four topic areas of the workshop. By so doing, it will accelerate research in these areas. Further, it will help students gain an international perspective and broaden their educational experience.
