Conference: Increasing Participation of U.S. Students to the 9th International Conference on Micro-Manufacturing (ICOMM 2014); Singapore, 25-28 March 2014

这一奖项的目的是为在美国院校学习的选定学生提供部分支持，使他们能够参加2014年3月25-28日在新加坡举行的第九届国际微型制造大会。这是一次关于微型制造的首届全球会议，每年都会吸引来自美国、欧洲和亚洲的大量研究人员和工程师出席。预计将在会议上提交100多篇论文，涉及与微制造和微工程相关的广泛主题。与会学生将通过提交他们撰写的技术论文来参加会议。资助机会将广泛公布，给予学生充足的通知和时间来申请。申请将由会议科学委员会审查。共有16名学生将从这一奖项中获得部分资助，这将有助于抵消差旅、会议登记和住宿的费用。除了培养全球微制造视野外，参与该奖项的学生将通过参加该领域领先国际专家的技术演示，了解微制造领域的最新研究进展和挑战。学生们还将有机会与来自世界各地工业和政府机构的顶尖研究人员和工程师交流想法，并有机会参观新加坡与微型制造有关的公司和实验室。

The purpose of this award is to provide partial support to selected students studying in US institutions to participate in the 9th International Conference on Micro-Manufacturing to be held in Singapore, 25-28 March 2014. This is a premiere global conference on micro-manufacturing which draws large attendance of researchers and engineers each year from America, Europe, and Asia. Over one hundred papers covering a wide range of topics pertinent to micro-manufacturing and micro-engineering are expected to be presented at the conference. The attending students will participate in the conference by presenting technical papers they have authored. The funding opportunity will be broadly announced giving students ample notice and time to apply. Applications will be reviewed by the conference scientific committee. A total of sixteen students will be partially supported from this award which will help offset expenses for travel, conference registration, and lodging.In addition to nurturing a global micro-manufacturing vision, participating students will learn about the latest research progress and challenges in micro-manufacturing by attending technical presentations by leading international experts in the field. The students will also have opportunities to exchange ideas with leading researchers and engineers from worldwide industrial and governmental facilities, as well as the opportunity to visit companies and laboratories involved with micro-manufacturing in Singapore.
