75th Device Research Conference (DRC) 2017. To Be Held at The University of Notre Dame, from June 25 to June 28, 2017.

这是NSF对增加演讲者多样性和提高学生参与第75届设备研究会议（DRC）的支持。刚果民主共和国有一所大学（今年在圣母大学），以及世界各地研究人员参与的强大传统。然而，DRC和设备研究界作为一个整体将受益于在会议上被邀请的发言者的增加，这些发言者是代表性不足的少数民族。刚果民主共和国是新兴设备技术的杰出论坛，目前正在庆祝其成立75周年。除了强大的研究生参与外，刚果民主共和国还有来自世界各地的研究人员参与的传统。为了延续这一趋势，我们邀请了来自不同研究领域和种族/文化背景的演讲者，以提高会议的多样性。此外，DRC为学生提供旅行支持，并作为一个特别的亮点，提供最佳学生论文和海报奖，以吸引更多的学生参与。这些资金将使组织者能够为受邀演讲者提供旅行支持，这些演讲者是设备研究界代表性不足的少数族裔。此外，将提供折扣学生注册的机会，以增加学生的参与。技术课程将为学生参与者提供接触新材料和设备、其基础物理和工程应用的机会。

This is an NSF support for increasing the diversity of speakers and enhancing student participation atthe 75th Device Research Conference (DRC). The DRC has a University setting (this year at theUniversity of Notre Dame), and a strong tradition of involvement from researchers around the world. Yet,the DRC and the device research community as a whole stands to benefit from an increase in the invitedspeakers at the conference that are underrepresented minorities.The DRC, now celebrating its 75th anniversary year, is the preeminent forum for new and emergingdevice technologies. The DRC has a tradition of participation from researchers from throughout theworld in addition to strong graduate student participation. To continue this trend, speakers are invitedfrom various research fields and ethnic/cultural backgrounds in an effort to improve the diversity ofconference. Further, DRC offers student travel support and as a particular highlight, the Best StudentPaper and Poster Awards for attracting more student involvement. The funds will enable the organizers to offer travel support for invited speakers who are underrepresented minorities in the deviceresearch community. Additionally, will offer the opportunity to discount student registration to increasestudent participation. The technical program will provide student participants with the opportunity togain exposure to new materials and devices, their basic physics, and their engineering applications.
