Travel Grant for Attendance of Junior U. S. Scientists at the XVIII IUIPAC Symposium on Photochemistry

有了这个奖项，有机和高分子化学计划支持了亚利桑那州立大学的德文斯·J·古斯特博士的一项建议，即提供旅费，帮助美国青年科学家参加将于2000年7月22日至28日在德国德累斯顿举行的第十八届国际理论和应用化学联合会光化学研讨会。 每两年举行一次的IUPAC研讨会是光化学家的主要国际会议。 它提供了一个传播光化学最新科学发展和概念的论坛，一个来自世界各地的光化学家进行互动的场所，以及新的国际接触和合作的机会，对于年轻的科学家来说，特别是助理教授一级的科学家，参加国际会议是困难的，因为他们缺乏足够的旅行资金。 该奖项将使七名年轻科学家有可能出席并发表论文或海报。 将根据每个申请人的简历和拟议演讲摘要挑选旅费领取者。 选择将由一个委员会组成的古斯特博士，西尔维亚Braslavsky教授，会议组织者，和罗格斯大学的海因茨罗斯博士。 Gust博士和Roth博士是国际科学委员会的两位美国成员。

With this award the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program supports a proposal by Dr. Devens J. Gust from Arizona State University to provide travel funds to help junior U.S. scientists to attend the XVIII IUPAC Symposium on Photochemistry, to be held in Dresden, Germany from July 22-28, 2000. The IUPAC Symposium, held biennually, is the major international meeting of photochemists. It provides a forum for the dissemination of the latest scientific developments and concepts in photochemistry, a venue for interaction of photochemists from all over the world, and opportunities for new international contacts and collaborations.Travel to international meetings is difficult for junior scientists, particularly at the assistant professor level, because they lack sufficient funds for such travel. This award will make it possible for seven junior scientists to attend and present papers or posters. The selection of travel fund recipients will be based on a vita and an abstract of the proposed presentation from each applicant. Selection will be made by a committee consisting of Dr. Gust, Prof. Silvia Braslavsky, the Conference Organizer, and Dr. Heinz Roth of Rutgers University. Drs. Gust and Roth are the two U.S. members of the International Scientific Committee.
