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在第75届设备研究会议(DRC)上为增加演讲者的多样性和加强学生参与而提供的支持。刚果民主共和国有一个大学背景(今年是圣母大学)，以及来自世界各地的研究人员参与的强大传统。然而，DRC和整个设备研究界将受益于会议受邀演讲者的增加，这些演讲者是代表不足的少数群体。DRC现在正在庆祝其成立75周年，是新的和新兴的设备技术的卓越论坛。除了研究生的大力参与外，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。为了继续这一趋势，邀请了来自不同研究领域和种族/文化背景的演讲者，以努力提高会议的多样性。此外，刚果民主共和国还为学生提供旅行支持，尤其是最佳学生论文奖和海报奖，以吸引更多的学生参与。这笔资金将使组织者能够为设备搜索社区中代表不足的少数族裔的特邀演讲者提供旅行支持。此外，将提供学生注册折扣的机会，以增加学生的参与。该技术项目将为学生提供接触新材料和新设备的机会，以及他们的基础物理和工程应用。

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.
