Indo-U.S. Workshop on Science and Technology of Glass, January 24-29, 1988, Bangalore, India, Award in U.S.and Indian Currencies

目标和相关性：本项目支持计划于1988年1月24日至29日在印度班加罗尔的印度科学研究所举行的美印两国玻璃科学和技术研讨会。讲习班将有几个目标：交流有关该领域最近进展的资料；就共同关心的问题制定联合研究计划大纲；并促使印度更加重视对非晶材料的研究。预计将出版包含邀请和投稿论文的会议记录。研讨会的目标符合美印项目的目标，即在两国感兴趣的领域促进合作。优点：1986年3月在新德里举行的第十四届国际眼镜大会确定了举办这个讲习班的必要性。玻璃、陶瓷和非晶材料的使用正迅速成为通信和能源以及其他电气和机械应用领域的许多应用所必需的。这次研讨会很可能有助于在未来的研究项目中将印度这一领域的一些顶尖科学家与美国的科学家联系起来，从而使两国受益。美国和印度的组织者完全有资格指导计划中的会议。资金：正是这一行动。

Objectives and Relevancy: This project supports a U.S.-India binational workshop on science and technology of glass, planned for January 24-29, 1988 at the Indian Institute of Science (IIS) in Bangalore, India. The workshop will have several objectives: exchange of information on recent advances in the field; generate outlines of joint research programs on problems of common interest; and stimulate greater emphasis on research on amorphouis materials in India. It is anticipated that the proceedings containing invited and contributed papers will be published. The objectives of the workshop fit those of the U.S.-India program in stimulating collaboration in areas of interest to the two countries. Merit: The need for this workshop was identified during the XIV International Congress on Glasses which was held in New Delhi in March 1986. The use of glass, ceramics, and amorphous materials is fast becoming essential for many applications in communication and energy , as well as other electrical and mechanical applications. It is likely that the workshop will help link some of the few leading scienists in this area in India with those in the U.S. in future research projects, to the benefit of the two countries. The U.S. and the Indian organizers are well qualified to direct the planned meeting. Funding: None other than this action.
