Heidelberg Laureate Forum Mathematical Sciences Graduate Student Support

该奖项为在美国的数学科学研究生和博士后研究人员提供旅费，以参加2017年9月24日至29日的海德堡桂冠论坛(HLF)。HLF汇集了计算机科学和数学领域最负盛名的奖项获得者，花了一周的时间与大约200名早期职业研究人员进行互动。由于这些研究人员代表40多个不同的国家，除了与获奖者和彼此进行科学交流外，他们还获得了关于当前计算机科学和数学研究的宝贵的全球视角。HLF仿照林道诺贝尔奖获得者会议，通过讲座、小组讨论和随意对话，为研究生和博士后研究人员提供了接触一组科学榜样的非同寻常的机会。这样的经历可能会对早期职业研究人员的发展产生深远的影响。橡树岭联合大学(ORAU)通过社交媒体、在线论坛和名单服务器为论坛招募高度合格和多样化的申请者。申请者将接受同行评审，以进行最终选择。有许多非常有前途的早期职业研究人员，他们很少或根本没有机会与计算机和数学科学领域的主要奖项的获奖者互动。HLF对这些人来说是一个独特的机会，可以激励和指导未来的研究。招募和挑选参与者强调了机会对研究人员的潜在好处，以及确保广泛包容的参与者群体的总体目标。非洲区域办事处在论坛前和论坛期间提供后勤支助，安排更多的现场充实活动，并对与会者的经验进行评估，以记录论坛的影响。该计划的网页为http://www.orau.org/hlf/.

This award provides travel funds for U.S.-based graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the mathematical sciences to attend the Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) during September 24-29, 2017. The HLF brings together Laureates of the most prestigious awards in computer science and mathematics to spend a week interacting with approximately two hundred early career researchers. As these researchers represent over forty different countries, in addition to the scientific exchanges with the Laureates and with each other, they gain a valuable global perspective on current research in computer science and mathematics. Modeled on the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, the HLF provides graduate students and postdoctoral researchers with extraordinary access to a group of scientific role models through lectures, small group discussions, and casual conversations. Such experiences can have a profound impact on the development of an early career researcher.Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) recruits a highly qualified and diverse applicant pool for the Forum using social media, on-line forums, and listservs. Applicants undergo peer review for final selection. There are many exceptionally promising early career researchers who have little or no opportunity to interact with the Laureates of the major prizes in the computer and mathematical sciences. The HLF is a unique opportunity for these individuals, one that can energize and steer future research. The recruitment and selection of participants emphasizes the potential benefits of the opportunity for the researchers, as well as the overall goal of ensuring a broadly inclusive group of participants. ORAU provides logistical support both prior to and during the forum, arranges additional on-site enrichment activities, and performs an assessment of participant experiences to document the impact of the Forum.
