The Sixth World Conference on Structural Control and Monitoring (6WCSCM) will be held on the campus of Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, July 15-17, 2014. The WCSCM is recognized as the premier interdisciplinary global gathering of experts working in the theoretical, numerical, experimental and practical advancements of monitoring and control technologies for dynamic structures in a wide range of civil, infrastructure, mechanical, aerospace and energy systems. This international meeting occurs once every four years, and brings the world's leading experts together with young researchers and students. The previous editions of WCSCM were held in Pasadena, CA (1994), Kyoto, Japan (1998), Como, Italy (2002), La Jolla, CA (2006) and Tokyo, Japan (2010). This award will enable attendance by new faculty and graduate students from US institutions, and will broaden participation by underrepresented groups. US participants will receive a special invitation to visit laboratories at UPC and meet with local researchers as a field trip from the conference.The conference serves the disciplines of Structural Control, Structural Health Monitoring, and Smart Structures and Materials. Application areas of interest include control and monitoring of bridges and buildings, earthquake engineering, damage detection and structural control for aircraft, spacecraft, surface vessels and submarines, structural engineering for robots and other mechanical systems, and structural monitoring and control of large wind turbines. This award will be used to cover between one-third and two-thirds of total travel costs, which will assist between 7 and 14 US participants. Eleven highly qualified individuals have been tentatively identified, including four women.

第六次世界关于结构控制和监控的世界会议（6WCSCM）将在2014年7月15日至17日，西班牙巴塞罗那大学政治校园（UPC）的校园举行。WCSCM被公认为是主要的跨学科全球聚集，从事理论，数字，实验和实践方面的跨学科全球聚会，以实现的方式和实践，并在实验和实践中进行了练习。民用，基础设施，机械，航空和能源系统。这次国际会议每四年一次一次，并将世界领先的专家与年轻的研究人员和学生一起。 WCSCM的先前版本在加利福尼亚州帕萨迪纳（Pasadena）（1994），日本京都（1998），意大利科莫（Como）（2002），加利福尼亚州拉霍亚（La Jolla）（2006年）和日本东京（Tokyo）（2010）。该奖项将使来自美国机构的新教师和研究生能够出席，并将扩大代表性不足的团体的参与。美国参与者将收到特别邀请访问UPC的实验室，并与当地研究人员会面，以参加会议的实地考察。会议为结构控制，结构性健康监测以及智能结构和材料的学科服务。感兴趣的应用领域包括对桥梁和建筑物的控制和监测，地震工程，损坏检测以及飞机的结构控制，航天器，地面容器和潜艇，机器人和其他机械系统的结构工程以及大风力涡轮机的结构监测和控制。该奖项将用于覆盖总差旅费的三分之一至三分之二，这将有助于7至14位美国参与者。暂时确定了11个高素质的人，其中包括四名女性。
