NSF Student Travel Grant for 2021 Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop at POPL (PLMW@POPL)

该奖项旨在支持美国学生参加编程语言指导研讨会(PLMW)，该研讨会是ACM Sigact-SIGPLAN编程语言原理研讨会(POPL)的一部分，是编程语言理论的主要会议。该活动将于2021年1月在丹麦哥本哈根举行。该奖项专门支持代表人数不足的群体的学生，并优先考虑美国公民和永久居民参加POPL会议以外的辅导研讨会。该奖项的影响涉及扩大对计算的参与，为学生提供接受领先研究人员指导的机会，并培养具有编程语言理论专业知识的下一代研究人员和知识丰富的实践者。在该资助的支持下，参加PLMW研讨会的学生将听到该领域的知名研究人员谈论该领域的最新趋势，并从这些演讲者和其他研究和追求职业抱负的导师那里获得一对一的指导。在这次活动中形成的联系将有助于在研究人员和学生之间建立持久的联系，从而形成计算机编程语言的新兴创新。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award seeks to support U.S. student participation in the Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW), being organized as part of the ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL), the premier conference on programming language theory. The event is in Copenhagen, Denmark in January 2021. This award specifically supports students from underrepresented groups and gives priority to US citizens and permanent residents to attend the mentoring workshop in addition to the POPL conference. The impact of the award relates to broadening participation in computing, providing opportunities for students to receive mentoring from leading researchers, and building the next generation of researchers and knowledgeable practitioners with expertise in programming languages theory.Students attending the PLMW workshop with support from this grant will hear eminent researchers in the field talk about the latest trends in the field, and get one-on-one mentoring from these speakers and other mentors in research and pursuing their career aspirations. The connections formed at this event will help create lasting connections between researchers and students, thereby shaping emerging innovations in computer programming languages.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
