Workshop: US-Korea Collaboration in Advanced Manufacturing Research; San Antonio, Texas; May 28-30, 2014

该奖项将资助25名美国先进制造业专家参加在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥举行的讲习班，与来自大韩民国的类似人数的研究人员讨论先进制造业的四个具体专题。研讨会将于2014年5月28日至30日举行。大韩民国代表团的旅费和住宿费将由韩国国家研究基金会资助。所有参与者的工作餐将由美国国家科学基金会提供资金。在第二次讲习班之前，去年5月在大韩民国组织了一次类似的讲习班，由韩国国家研究基金会主办。在去年的研讨会结束时，决定需要进一步讨论工业机器人、制造数学、材料加工和亚微米和纳米制造四个主题。今年研讨会的目标是继续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其他研究课题。研讨会的讨论将再次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。此外，今年的与会者还将讨论超大型制造和生物材料加工。研讨会之前，将参观西南研究院的设施。研讨会本身将为期两天。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，预计将导致更好的产品和使用环保的先进制造工艺制造的经济产品。此外，它将帮助参与其中的学生获得国际视野和拓宽他们的教育经验。该项目由OIIA国际科学和工程科通过全球风险基金共同资助。

This award will fund 25 United States experts in advanced manufacturing to attend a workshop in San Antonio, Texas to discuss four specific topics in advanced manufacturing with a similar number of researchers from the Republic of Korea. The workshop will be held in May 28-30, 2014. The Republic of Korea delegation travel and hotel will be funded by the Korean National Research Foundation. The working meals for all participants will be funded by the United States National Science Foundation. This second workshop follows a similar workshop organized last year in May in Republic of Korea and hosted by the Korean National Research Foundation. At the end of last year's workshop, it was decided that further discussion is needed on the four topics of industrial robotics, manufacturing mathematics, materials processing and sub-micron and nano-manufacturing. The goal of this year's workshop is to continue to identify additional 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 again focus in four topical areas: industrial robotics, manufacturing mathematics, materials processing and sub-micron and nano-manufacturing. Additionally this year the participants will also discuss very large manufacturing and bio-materials processing. The workshop will be preceded by tour of the Southwest Research Institute facilities. The workshop itself will 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 which is expected to lead to better products and economical products made with environmentally friendly advanced manufacturing processes. Further, it will help involved students gain an international perspective and broaden their educational experience.This project is co-funded by the International Science and Engineering Section of OIIA through the Global Venture Fund.
