Midwest Programming Languages Summit 2016

该奖项将支持学生参加2016中西部编程语言峰会，该峰会将于2016年秋季晚些时候在芝加哥大学举行。这次会议是一次非正式的区域讲习班，目的是在编程语言和相关专题方面建立一个区域研究网络。这些资金将帮助支持美国大学的学生，重点是出席会议的学生、代表人数不足的少数族裔学生，以及因经济限制而无法出席的学生。支持学生出差参加专业会议和研讨会是NSF的一项非常重要的使命。更广泛的影响包括在这一重要研究领域培训下一代研究人员，并促进他们在研究生院以及随后在研究、工业和其他部门的职业发展。

This award will support student participation to the Midwest Programming Languages Summit 2016, to be held at the University of Chicago in late Fall 2016. The meeting is an informal regional workshop with the goal of cultivating a regional research network in programming languages and allied topics. The funds will help support students at US universities, focusing on students presenting at the meeting, students from underrepresented minorities, and students who would otherwise not be able to attend due to financial limitations. Supporting student travel to attend professional conferences and workshops is a very important mission of the NSF. Broader impacts include training the next generation of researchers in this important research area and to facilitate their career development in graduate school and subsequently in research, industry, and other sectors.
