Nathiagali Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs,June 1990, Nathiagali, Pakistan, Group Travel Award for U.S.Participants.

描述：本项目支持6名美国科学家参加将于1990年6月在巴基斯坦举行的纳蒂亚加利物理与当代需求暑期学院。那所学校自1976年以来每年举行一次。美国国家科学基金会在这些年中有四年支持美国参与。该学院有一些令人印象深刻的特点：计划和项目的连续性，欧洲科学组织的持续支持，包括的里雅斯特理论物理中心，来自美国和其他国家的高水平讲座，以及来自南亚国家的广泛的学生和教师。这些会议正在演变成巴基斯坦和南亚每年的主要科学活动之一。主题通常概述物理学和相关领域（材料、生物物理学）的各个分支的最新发展及其对社会的影响。讲座、研讨会、工作坊和讨论涵盖了能源、凝聚态物理、激光、计算物理、核与粒子物理、天体物理学、宇宙学和生物物理学等主题。1990年会议将讨论的题目包括发展先进材料、加速器物理学、太阳能和其他替代能源的最新趋势以及大气和海洋研究。这些会议促进了南亚最不发达国家的科学家与具有进一步合作潜力的西方国家的科学家之间的坚实互动。这些会议的会议记录通常会出版并广为散发。范围：本提案很好地满足了美国国家科学基金会发展中国家科学项目的目标，即与最不发达国家建立强有力的联系，以帮助在科学和技术方面建立持久的关系。

Description: This project supports participation by six U.S. scientists in the Nathiagali Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs to be held in Pakistan in June 1990. That school has been held annually since 1976. NSF has supported U.S. participation in four of these years. The school has some impressive features: the continuity of plans and programs, the continuous support of European scientific organization including the Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, the high caliber of lectures from the U.S. and other countries and the broad scope of students and faculty members from South Asian countries who attend. The meetings are evolving into one of Pakistans, and South Asias, main scientific events every year. Topics typically provide overview of recent developments in various branches of physics and related fields (materials, biophysics) and the implications for the society. Lectures, seminars, and workshops and discussions cover subjects such as energy, condensed matter physics, lasers, computational physics, nuclear and particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology and biophysics. The topics to be covered at 1990 meeting include development of advanced materials, accelerator physics, recent trends in solar energy and other alternate energy sources, and atmospheric and oceanic research. The meetings lead to solid interaction between scientists from the LDC's of South Asia and those from the Western countries with potential for futher collaboration. Proceedings of these meetings are usually published and widely disseminated. Scope: This proposal meets very well the objectives of NSF's Science in Develping Countries Program in providing a strong link with LDC's to help build lasting relationships in Science and Technology.
