This is a proposal to fund airfare for U.S. students to participate in the International School/Symposium for Space Simulations (ISSS-12), held in Prague, Czech Republic. ISSS-12 is the synergistic combination of a noted international school with world-class instructors and an international space plasma physics symposium during which related cutting-edge research is discussed. The planned school offers an exciting opportunity for U.S. students to get hands-on experience with complex plasma simulation codes and to obtain copies of some of the basic codes at its completion. In the subsequent symposium, students are exposed to research using these same and additional cutting-edge simulation technologies. Throughout this experience, students have the opportunity to network with an international cadre of researchers and students both one-on-one and in small groups. This school and symposium approach has proven over the years to be very effective in maximizing the knowledge that students gain but, in addition, it creates an environment that enables these same students to establish international contacts and build future collaborations.The strong relevance of ISSS-12 to international STEM-related workforce issues makes it of potential interest to the Global Venture Fund program housed in the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE). GVF agreed to co-review the proposal with the NSF Geospace section. Although OISE normally does not support international symposia, ISSS-12 was judged to be a solid investment in 10 junior US researchers/students who will gain an exceptional early-career opportunity to interact with the Czech research community, which is strong in plasma physics and related areas. Furthermore, Czech research infrastructure is world class, with existing simulators, an Institute of Plasma Physics, HILASE, and a newly built EU-funded facility called ELI. Thus, this destination is an important investment in the junior US participants? professional future. To make this opportunity available to U.S. students, the GVF joined with NSF Geospace to provide funding for this proposal.

这是一项资助美国学生参加在捷克共和国布拉格举行的空间模拟国际学校/研讨会（ISSS-12）的机票提案。ISSS-12是一所著名的国际学校与世界级教员和一个国际空间等离子体物理专题讨论会的协同结合，在该专题讨论会上讨论了相关的前沿研究。计划中的学校为美国学生提供了一个令人兴奋的机会，让他们获得复杂等离子体模拟代码的实践经验，并在完成时获得一些基本代码的副本。在随后的研讨会上，学生们将接触到使用这些相同和额外的尖端仿真技术的研究。在整个过程中，学生有机会与研究人员和学生的国际骨干一对一和小组网络。 多年来，这种学校和研讨会的方法已被证明是非常有效的，在最大限度地提高学生获得的知识，但除此之外，它创造了一个环境，使这些学生能够建立国际联系，并建立未来的合作。ISSS-12与国际STEM的强烈相关性-相关的劳动力问题使其成为NSF国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）的全球风险基金项目的潜在兴趣。GVF同意与NSF地理空间部门共同审查该提案。 虽然OISE通常不支持国际研讨会，但ISSS-12被认为是对10名初级美国研究人员/学生的坚实投资，他们将获得与捷克研究界互动的特殊早期职业机会，捷克研究界在等离子体物理和相关领域很强。 此外，捷克的研究基础设施是世界一流的，现有的模拟器，等离子体物理研究所，HILASE和新建的欧盟资助的设施称为ELI。因此，这个目的地是一个重要的投资在初级美国的参与者？专业未来 为了让美国学生有机会获得这个机会，GVF与NSF Geospace合作，为这个提案提供资金。
