Travel Grants for Outstanding Young Scientists to attend the 19th International Liquid Crystal Conference, Edinburgh, Scotland, June 30-July 5, 2002

格伦·h·布朗奖设立于1986年，旨在通过鼓励博士研究成果的有效书面和口头报告，推进和传播物质液晶状态的知识。国际液晶学会将于2002年6月30日至7月5日在苏格兰爱丁堡举行的国际液晶会议上，对2000年1月至2001年12月期间完成的优秀论文进行颁奖。将考虑热致性、聚合物和/或溶致性液晶系统的理论、实验和/或应用工作。液晶界继续对教育和新材料的发展产生直接影响，对社会的技术进步具有重要意义。后者包括开发具有高商业价值的新型电光器件。由于这些技术领域对工业具有非常高的优先级，在这些涉及液晶科学和工程的多学科领域接受教育和培训的学生在就业市场上具有很强的竞争力，并继续以许多重要的方式为全球经济做出贡献。

The Glenn H. Brown Prizes were established in 1986 to advance and diffuse knowledge of liquid crystal states of matter by encouraging effective written and oral presentations of doctoral research results. At the International Liquid Crystal Conference to be held June 30-July 5, 2002 in Edinburgh, Scotland, the International Liquid Crystal Society will award prizes for outstanding thesis completed between January 2000 and December 2001. Tesis on theoretical, experimental and/or applied work on thermotropic, polymeric and/or lyotropic liquid crystal systems will be considered. The liquid crystal community continues to have direct impact on education and the development of new materials for technological advances of high significance to society. The latter include the development of novel electro optic devices of high commercial interest. Since these technical areas are of very high priority to industry, students educated and trained in these multidisciplinary areas involving liquid crystal science and engineering compete very well in the job market and go on to contribute in many significant ways to the global economy.
