This award will help to support student attendance at the 58th IEEE Annual Symposium on the Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS) in Berkeley, CA on October 15 through October 17, 2017, as well as to support attendance by some qualified postdoctoral fellows who do not have other sources of travel funding. FOCS and its sister conference, the ACM STOC meeting, are the premier broad-based conferences on the Theory of Computing. FOCS has a record of strongly encouraging participation by students, for whom the conference serves as a valuable educational experience, both for the technical content of the talks and for the opportunities for networking that it provides. In recent years, the annual FOCS conference has been attended by eighty to one hundred students who have comprised more than a third of all attendees. This award will provide partial support to fifteen or more students.

该奖项将有助于支持学生参加于2017年10月15日至10月17日在加利福尼亚州伯克利举行的第58届IEEE计算机科学基础年度研讨会(FOCS)，并支持一些没有其他旅行资金来源的合格博士后研究员参加会议。Focs及其姊妹会议ACM STOC会议是关于计算理论的主要的基础广泛的会议。Focs有强烈鼓励学生参与的记录，对他们来说，这次会议是一次宝贵的教育经验，无论是在演讲的技术内容上，还是在它提供的联网机会方面。近年来，一年一度的FOCS会议有80到100名学生参加，占所有与会者的三分之一以上。该奖项将为15名或更多的学生提供部分支持。
