This award provides travel support for students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the 29th Annual Symposium on Computational Geometry, to be held June 17?20, 2013 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.The Symposium on Computational Geometry (SOCG) is the oldest and most influential international conference in computational geometry. Throughout its almost 30-year history, SOCG has played a seminal role in the formation and evolution of the field, and it continues to serve as the flagship venue for groundbreaking research in all areas of geometric computing.The funds will be used to encourage and facilitate the participation of under-represented groups in this top-tier computer science conference. They will also contribute towards attracting more underrepresented groups to computer science research giving students an opportunity to engage in the important technical, professional and social exchanges that SOCG fosters. Finally, the conference itself and all conference attendees will benefit from the greater attendance and consequently higher proportion of students and under-represented groups that this travel grant makes possible.

该奖项为学生和博士后参加2013年6月17日至20日在巴西里约热内卢举行的第29届计算几何年度研讨会提供差旅支持。计算几何研讨会(SOCG)是计算几何领域历史最悠久、最具影响力的国际会议。在其近30年的历史中，SOCG在该领域的形成和发展中发挥了开创性的作用，并将继续作为几何计算所有领域开创性研究的旗舰场所。资金将用于鼓励和促进代表不足的团体参加这一顶级计算机科学会议。它们还将有助于吸引更多未被充分代表的群体从事计算机科学研究，使学生有机会参与SOCG所促进的重要技术、专业和社会交流。最后，会议本身和所有与会者将受益于更多的出席人数，从而使学生和代表不足的群体的比例更高，这是可能的。
