12th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering

为参加2000年1月30日至2月4日在新西兰奥克兰举行的第12届世界地震工程会议的大约55名高素质人员提供部分旅费支持。如果没有这样的支持，很少有美国研究人员能够参与其中。如果美国要保持其在地震工程领域公认的领导地位，美国研究人员在这个重要的国际论坛上展示他们当前工作的成果是至关重要的。世界地震工程会议是由美国国家科学基金会主办的一项独特的重大活动，使美国国家科学基金会的研究人员能够参与并加强他们的研究。EERI将广泛宣传旅行补助金的可用性，召集一个蓝带审查小组来评估申请，协调旅行安排，并处理派遣美国代表团前往新西兰所涉及的所有行政程序。

Funding is provided for partial travel support for approximately fifty-five highly qualified individuals to participate in the 12th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, January 30-February 4, 2000, in Auckland, New Zealand. Without such support, few U.S. researchers will find it possible to participate. It is critically important that U.S. researchers present results of their current work in this important international forum, if the U.S. is to maintain its recognized leadership in the earthquake engineering field. The World Conference on Earthquake Engineering is the unique major event, which NSF sponsors to enable NSF investigators to participate and to enhance their research.EERI will advertise broadly the availability of travel grants, convene a blue-ribbon review panel to evaluate applications, coordinate travel arrangements, and handle all administrative procedures involved in sending the U.S. delegation to New Zealand.
