A Workshop on Fundamental Research Needs in Ceramics; Arlington, VA; June 10-12, 1997

9714807 马萨诸塞州大学的卡尔·贾克斯和马萨诸塞州理工学院的蒋一鸣提议举办一个为期两天的研讨会，由40人参加，以确定未来十年陶瓷研究的需求和机会，并确定其优先次序。 研讨会将考虑与结构和功能陶瓷相关的问题，重点是基础研究，而不是“面向任务”的研究。 研讨会的广泛目标将是确定陶瓷研究的那些领域，其中NSF的新的或持续的重点可能会导致科学理解的突破，新陶瓷和材料系统的发现。或者开发新技术，最终对国家产生广泛的经济影响。 拟议的研讨会是对COV建议（1996年4月）的回应，该建议要求每个计划举办一次研讨会，评估该计划在其研究领域中的作用。 为期2天的研讨会将确定和优先考虑未来十年陶瓷的研究需求和机会。 ***

9714807 9714807 Jakus The PIs, Karl Jakus of University of Massachusetts, and Yet- Ming Chiang of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, propose a 2 day workshop involving 40 people to identify and prioritize research needs and opportunities in ceramics for the coming decade. The workshop will consider issues related to both structural and functional ceramics, focusing on fundamental rather than "mission-oriented" research. The broad goal of the workshop will be to identify those areas of ceramics research in which new or continued emphasis by NSF is likely to lead to breakthroughs in scientific understanding, discovery of new ceramics and materials systems, and./or development of new technologies that can ultimately have a broad economic impact upon the nation. %%% The proposed workshop is in response to the COV recommendation (April 1996) that each program hold a workshop assessing the role of the program in its research area. The 2 day workshop will identify and prioritize research needs and opportunities in ceramics for the coming decade. ***
