Graduate Student Support for COSMO-16 International Cosmology Conference

该奖项将提供适量的资金，以帮助抵消参加cosmos -16会议的初级参与者（约12名研究生或博士后）的注册费。COSMO是首屈一指的国际系列宇宙学会议。它始于1997年在英国湖区安布尔塞德的一次会议。今年是第20届，由密歇根大学物理系主办。组织者预计将有250名来自世界各地的参与者。该计划将由多位杰出的全体会议发言人主持，包括暗物质、暗能量、暴胀和引力波等主题。组织者将特别注意确保全体会议和平行会议的发言人来自足够多样化的群体。

This award will provide a modest amount of funding to help offset the registration fee for junior participants, about 12 graduate students or postdocs, at the COSMO-16 conference. COSMO is the premier international series of cosmology conferences. It started with a meeting in Ambleside, Lake District, UK in 1997. It is in its 20th edition this year when it is hosted by the Department of Physics at the University of Michigan. The organizers expect ~250 participants from around the world. The program will be headlined by a number of distinguished plenary speakers, and will include dark matter, dark energy, inflation, and gravitational waves, among other topics. The organizers will pay particular attention to ensuring that the plenary and parallel-session speakers come from a sufficiently diverse pool.
