8th International Congress on Combustion By-Products, -Origin, Control and Health Impacts

资助10名或以上的美国学生参加将于2003年6月在瑞典于默奥举行的第八届国际燃烧副产物大会。这次会议汇集了学术界、政府和工业代表，共同介绍研究成果，更新国际政策，并讨论有关燃烧过程中有毒副产物排放的关键问题。该会议自1990年以来每两年举行一次，吸引了来自世界各地的150至200名代表。学生是根据提交的摘要的质量和会议常设组织委员会的需要来选择的。每个学生最多可以收到1000美元，以帮助支付参加会议的旅费。在会议网站和论文征集中公布了旅行现金奖励的可用性。更广泛的影响研究，尤其是环境研究，正变得越来越跨学科。这次会议是专门为工程师、科学家和健康影响研究人员设计的，旨在讨论围绕燃烧的环境问题。我们的下一代研究人员必须熟悉这些跨学科的问题，才能取得成功。鼓励学生参与，并提供部分旅费支持，以发展和培养下一代研究人员。

PROJECT SUMMARYIntellectual MeritThe cost of travel for 10 or more US students to the 8th International Congress on Combustion By-Products to be held in Umea, Sweden in June of 2003 is supported. This meeting brings academic, government, and industrial representatives together to present research findings, update international policy, and discuss critical issues concerning emissions of toxic by-products from combustion processes. Meeting every two years since 1990, this meeting attracts between 150 and 200 delegates from all over the world. The students are selected based on the quality of abstracts submitted for presentation and need by the standing organizing committee for the conference. Up to $1000 can be received by each student to help defray travel costs for attending the conference. The availability of the travel cash awards is advertised on the conference website and in the call for papers.Broader ImpactsResearch, and especially environmental research, is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary. This meeting is especially designed to bring together engineers, scientists, and health effects researchers to discuss the environmental issues surrounding combustion. Our next generation of researchers must be familiar with these interdisciplinary issues to be successful. Encouraging the participation of students with partial travel support develops and trains the next generation of researchers.
