Workshop for Inter-American Materials Collaboration; Cancun, Mexico; August 21-25, 2005

将于2005年8月21日至25日在墨西哥坎昆举行的第十四届国际材料研究大会期间举办一次美洲材料合作讲习班。为期一天半的研讨会将汇集在CIAM伞下资助的研究人员，介绍他们CIAM合作的成果，并相互讨论，并与CIAM内的国家研究资助机构的代表讨论在开展CIAM资助的研究时遇到的各种挑战和机遇。作为更大会议的一部分，这也将以材料世界网络10周年为特色，CIAM研讨会将为其他目前没有得到CIAM资助的研究人员提供一个额外的机会，以更多地了解CIAM研究人员的集体活动。参加CIAM活动的学生也将有机会参加并与其他CIAM学生研究人员互动-平台会谈和海报会议都计划鼓励和促进这些互动。预期的讨论和意见交流将有助于促进未来的合作研究活动和建议，将参与CIAM国家的科学家和学生联系起来。

A workshop for Inter-American Materials Collaboration (CIAM) will be organized as part of the XIV International Materials Research Congress to be held in Cancun, Mexico, on August 21-25 2005. The one-and-a-half day workshop will bring together researchers funded under the CIAM umbrella, to present results from their CIAM collaborations and to discuss with each other and with representatives from national research funding agencies within CIAM the various challenges and opportunities encountered while carrying out their CIAM-funded research.As part of a larger meeting, which will also feature the 10th.Anniversary of the Materials World Network, the CIAM workshop will provide an additional opportunity for other researchers not currently funded under the auspices of CIAM to learn more about the collective activities of CIAM researchers. Students participating in CIAM activities will also have an opportunity to attend and interact with other CIAM student researchers - both platform talks and a poster session are scheduled to encourage and foster these interactions. The anticipated discussions and exchange of ideas will serve to stimulate future collaborative research activities and proposals connecting scientists and students from the participating CIAM countries.The workshop is co-supported by the Division of Materials Research and the Office of International Science and Engineering.
