International Travel Support: Mini Symposia 20th IEEE/EMBS Annual International Conference, Oct 29-Nov 1, 1998, Hong Kong

9873557司徒会第20届国际电机及电子工程师学会/医学及生物工程学会年会将於一九九八年十月二十九日至十一月一日在香港举行，其中包括生物传感器及生物机械微型机电系统的两个小型研讨会。小型研讨会将向未来的研究人员介绍这些日益重要的生物医学工程研究领域的最新科学状况。正在提供支助，以支付参加小型专题讨论会的15名发言者的部分旅费。将根据以下标准挑选得到支助的个人：参加小型专题讨论会；青年调查员；多样性(性别；少数群体；残疾人)；组织者。小型研讨会的参与者将了解当前的研究，这些研究将有助于开发将导致新的医学应用的技术。每个接受资助的人都要向生物工程和环境系统司提交一份报告，说明小型研讨会上讨论的最有可能极大地影响新医疗技术发展的研究。***

9873557 Szeto The 20th IEEE/EMBS (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers/Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society) Annual International Conference, to be held in Hong Kong, October 29-November 1, 1998, includes the two mini-symposia of Biosensors and Biomechanical Micro-Electromechanical Systems in its program. The mini-symposia will introduce prospective investigators to the state-of-the-science in these increasingly important areas of biomedical engineering research. Support is being provided to cover partial travel costs for 15 speaker-participants in the mini-symposia. Individuals who receive support are to be selected based on the following criteria: participation in the mini-symposia; young investigators; diversity (gender; minority; disabled); organizers. Participants in the mini-symposia will learn about current research that will contribute to the development of technologies that will lead to new applications in medicine. Each recipient of support is to submit a report to the Division of Bioengineering and Environmental Systems describing the research discussed at the mini-symposia having the greatest potential for dramatically influencing the development of new medical technologies. ***
