Support of student travel to the EIPBN conference. To be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, Nashville, Tennessee, May 28-31, 2013.

ECCS-1321752 Hank Smith，MIT支持学生参加EIPBN会议该奖项将为学生提供旅行支持，使他们能够参加将于2013年5月28日至5月31日在田纳西州纳什维尔盖洛德奥普里兰度假村举行的第57届国际电子、离子束和光子束技术与纳米制造会议。学术价值：这是在纳米制造、电子束和离子束光刻、光子和压印光刻、粒子束光学和纳米制造的前沿应用领域的一次重要会议。这项旅行援助将使学生能够向高水平的国际科学界展示他们的研究。他们将观察科学家和工程师如何交流创新思想和其他信息，并听取有关纳米科技最新研究成果的第一手介绍。广泛影响：了解技术会议如何成为向他人传达信息的场所是研究生S教育的重要组成部分。同样重要的是学习如何以令人信服和易于理解的方式展示一项研究的结果？S。所请求的支持将有助于实现这些目标。在会议上，学生们将进行重要的个人接触，了解就业机会。在一次特别的学生早餐上，会议组织者将向学生描述展示科学信息的最佳技术，以及会议计划是如何组合在一起的。提供支持将大大减轻学生在寻找参加会议所需资金方面的负担，特别是在他们学术生涯的早期，这一课程可能是最具成长性的。

ECCS-1321752Hank Smith, MITSupport of student travel to the EIPBN conferenceThis award will provide travel support to enable students to attend The 57th International Conference on Electron, Ion and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication, 2013, to be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, Nashville, Tennessee, May 28 to May 31, 2013. Intellectual Merit: This is a major conference in the fields of nanofabrication, electron and ion-beam lithographies, photon and imprint lithographies, particle-beam optics, and forefront applications of nanofabrication. This travel aid will enable students to present their research to a high-level international scientific community. They will observe how scientists and engineers exchange innovative ideas and other information, and they will hear first-hand presentations of up-to-date research results in nanoscale science and technology.Broader Impacts: Learning how a technical conference serves as a venue for conveying information to others is an important element of a graduate student?s education. Also important is leaning how to present, in a cogent and understandable way, the results of one?s research. The requested support will help to accomplish these ends. At the conference, students will make important personal contacts and learn of employment opportunities. At a special student breakfast, the conference organizers will describe to the students optimal techniques for presenting scientific information and how the conference program is put together. The provision of support will greatly ease the burden on students in finding funds needed to attend a conference, especially early in their academic careers, when this lesson can be most formative.
