FOCS Conference Student Travel Support

该奖项将帮助学生出席2016年10月9日至10月11日在新泽西州新不伦瑞克省举行的第57届IEEE计算机科学基础年度研讨会（FOCS），以及支持一些没有其他旅行资金来源的合格博士后参加会议。FOCS和它的姊妹会议ACM STOC会议是基础广泛的计算理论会议。FOCS有强烈鼓励学生参与的记录，对他们来说，会议是一次宝贵的教育经验，无论是会谈的技术内容还是它提供的联网机会。近年来，每年的FOCS会议都有80到100名学生参加，占所有与会者的三分之一以上。该奖项将为20名或更多的学生提供部分支持。

This award will help to support student attendance at the 57th IEEE Annual Symposium on the Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS) in New Brunswick, NJ on October 9 through October 11, 2016, as well as to support attendance by some qualified postdoctoral fellows who do not have other sources of travel funding. FOCS and its sister conference, the ACM STOC meeting, are the premier broad-based conferences on the Theory of Computing. FOCS has a record of strongly encouraging participation by students, for whom the conference serves as a valuable educational experience, both for the technical content of the talks and for the opportunities for networking that it provides. In recent years, the annual FOCS conference has been attended by eighty to one hundred students who have comprised more than a third of all attendees. This award will provide partial support to twenty or more students.
