NSF: STOC 2024 Conference Student Travel Support

计算理论研讨会（Symposium on Theory of Computing， STOC）是全球公认的理论计算机科学（TCS）领域最重要的学术会议之一。理论节是科学技术中心的卫星活动，包括各种研讨会和附加节目。这项旅行补助金的目的是使来自代表性不足社区的学生能够参加STOC 2024、TheoryFest和TCS for All活动，这些活动将与STOC同时举行。这笔资金支持将为学生提供参加这些领先会议的机会，这不仅可以提高他们的智力增长，还可以通过鼓励与不同指导小组的互动来促进社区的丰富，为活动的成功做出重大贡献。有了这笔资金，我们的目标是为15名学生参加STOC 2024提供经济支持。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC) conference is recognized as one of the foremost academic conferences in theoretical computer science (TCS) globally. TheoryFest, a satellite event of STOC, comprises various workshops and additional programs. The purpose of this travel grant is to enable students from underrepresented communities to attend STOC 2024 and TheoryFest and the TCS for All events, which will coincide and be co-located with STOC. This financial support will offer students the opportunity to participate in these leading conferences, which not only enhances their intellectual growth but also fosters community enrichment by encouraging interaction with a diverse mentoring panel, contributing significantly to the event's success. With this funding we aim to provide financial support to fifteen students to attend STOC 2024.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.
