Student Travel Support for the 5th International Meeting of Pacific Rim Ceramic Societies; Nagoya, Japan; September 29 - October 2, 2003

2003年9月29日至10月2日，将为多达10名研究生、博士后学生和初级教师提供旅行奖学金，参加在日本名古屋举行的第五届环太平洋陶瓷协会会议（PACRIM），外加为期两天的行业参观。 旅行研究员将参加社会项目和参观陶瓷公司，以获得有关日本和远东研究方法，设施和观点的第一手经验。 此次行业参观将使获奖者能够将日本的行业方法与美国的行业实践进行比较，从而拓宽他们的经验。 每位与会者将在会议上发表一篇论文。通过让年轻的科学家和工程师有机会与其他太平洋沿岸国家的人介绍和讨论他们的研究，他们将了解陶瓷界的全球范围。 通过在他们科学生涯的早期阶段向他们介绍这样一个令人兴奋的机会，该项目将使科学家更容易建立全球科学网络，并鼓励他们在材料世界中终身互动/合作

Travel fellowships for up to 10 graduate students, post-doctoral students, and junior faculty will be provided to attend the 5th Pacific Rim meeting of Ceramic Societies (PACRIM) in Nagoya, Japan, September 29 - October 2, 2003 plus a two day industry tour. Travel fellows will participate in social programs and tour ceramic companies to gain first hand experience about research approaches, facilities and perspectives in Japan and the Far East. The industry tour will broaden the experience of awardees by enabling them to compare Japanese industry approaches with U.S. industry practice. Each participant will give a paper at the meeting.By giving young scientists and engineers an opportunity to present and discuss their research with people from other Pacific rim nations they will learn about the global expanse of the ceramics community. By introducing them to such an exciting opportunity at an early stage of their scientific career, this project will result in scientists who will more easily build the worldwide scientific network and encourage their life-long interactions/collaborations in the materials world
