Travel Support for International Symposium on Semiconductor Light Emitting Devices. To be Held in Banff, Canada, October 8-12, 2017

这是NSF在第11届半导体发光器件国际研讨会（ISSLED）上增加演讲者多样性和提高学生参与度的支持。国际半导体发光二极管会议是一个专门的国际会议，每年两次，涵盖当前半导体发光器件的挑战。今年的会议将在加拿大班夫举行。ISSLED和LED研究界作为一个整体，将受益于在研讨会上被邀请的演讲者和与会者的增加，这些人是代表性不足的少数民族。国际半导体发光二极管研讨会是一个专门的两年一次的国际会议，讨论当前半导体发光器件面临的挑战。与会者是来自世界各地的学术界、国家机构和工业界的研究人员。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，以提高研讨会与会者的多样性。对于刚刚开始他们的研究生涯的学生和年轻研究人员给予了很大的关注。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LED设备研究界代表性不足的少数民族。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 at the 11th International Symposium on Semiconductor Light Emitting Devices (ISSLED). The ISSLED is a specialized biannual international meeting covering current challenges in semiconductor light emitting devices. This year meeting will be in Banff (Canada). The ISSLED and the LED research community as a whole stands to benefit from an increase in the invited speakers and attendees at the symposium that are underrepresented minorities. The ISSLED Symposium is a specialized biannual international meeting covering current challenges in semiconductor light emitting devices. The participants are researchers from academia, national institutes, and industry and travel from all parts of the world. To continue this trend, speakers are invited from various research fields and ethnic/cultural backgrounds in an effort to improve the diversity of symposium attendees. A great deal of attention is given to involve students and young researcher who are just beginning their research careers.The funds will enable the organizers to offer travel support for invited speakers who are underrepresented minorities in the LED device research community. The technical program will provide student participants the opportunity to gain exposure to new materials and devices, their basic physics, and their engineering applications.
