International Meeting on Developments in Ceramic Science and Engineering: The last 50 years

这项提案涉及对陶瓷科学与工程发展：过去50年的人事费和特邀演讲者费用的支持。这次会议是为了回顾过去50年来工程陶瓷领域的发展。这次会议将纪念勒弗胡姆信托基金董事、英国工程陶瓷界领军人物理查德·布鲁克教授70岁生日。会议将于2007年4月10日至11日在伦敦大学学院举行。来自英国、欧洲和美国的顶尖专家已确认参会，并提交了高质量的稿件，这些稿件将在《欧洲陶瓷学会杂志》(Elsevier)的特刊上进行评审并在会议上分发。组织者的目的是鼓励来自学术界和工业界的年轻研究人员出席，这次会议将对他们特别有益。因此，为初级参与者预留了一些名额，他们将被收取150英镑的小额费用。希望这次会议能够增进对科学的了解，并庆祝理查德·布鲁克爵士的职业生涯。

This proposal relates to support for staff costs and expenses for invited speakers at Developments in Ceramic Science and Engineering: the last 50 years. The meeting has been organised to review developments made in the field of engineering ceramics during the last 50 years. The meeting will mark the 70th birthday of Professor Sir Richard Brook, Director of the Leverhulme Trust and a leading figure of engineering ceramics in the UK. The meeting will take place at University College London, from 10 / 11 April 2007. Leading experts from the UK, Europe and USA have confirmed their participation and submitted high-quality manuscripts, which will be reviewed and published in a special issue of the Journal of the European Ceramic Society (Elsevier) to be distributed at the meeting. It is the aim of the organisers to encourage the attendance of young researchers from academia and industry, to whom this meeting will be of particular benefit. Therefore, a number of places have been set aside for junior participants, who will be charged a small fee of 150. It is hoped that the meeting will be successful in enhancing scientific understanding and celebrating the career of Professor Sir Richard Brook.
