U.S.-Brazil Workshop: XVth International Congress on Mathematical Physics, August 5 - August 11, 2006, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

这项美国-巴西研讨会奖将资助来自美国机构的20名初级研究人员参加2006年8月5日至8月11日在巴西里约热内卢举行的第XVth国际数学物理大会。这是由国际数学物理协会主办的一系列长期顶级会议之一，每三年在世界各地举行一次。ICMP会议旨在涵盖数学物理各个领域最重要的最新发展，来自世界各地的相当数量的数学物理研究人员参加了会议。会议的重点是对数学物理具有相当重要和当前兴趣的话题。紧接主要会议之前的青年研究人员研讨会将为初级与会者提供一系列关于数学物理主题的概述讲座，使他们接触到高质量的国际研究，并增强这些年轻与会者的教育体验。特别注意资助任职人数不足的团体成员的旅费。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室的美洲项目、数学科学部的分析和应用数学项目以及物理系的理论物理项目支持。

This U.S.-Brazil workshop award will support the travel of 20 junior researchers from US institutions to the XVth International Congress on Mathematical Physics, August 5 - August 11, 2006, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is one of a long-standing series of top-level conferences sponsored by the International Association of Mathematical Physics that is held every three years in locations around the world. The ICMP conference aims at covering the most important recent developments in all areas of mathematical physics, and a substantial number of the researchers in mathematical physics from all over the world attend the meeting.The conference focuses on topics of considerable importance and current interest to mathematical physics. The Young Researchers Symposium immediately preceding the main congress will provide junior participants with a series of overview lectures on mathematical physics topics that expose them to high quality international research and enhance the educational experience for these young attendees. Particular attention is paid to funding the travel for members of underrepresented groups. This award is supported by the Americas Program of the Office of International Science and Engineering, the Analysis and Applied Mathematics Programs of the Division of Mathematical Sciences, and the Theoretical Physics Program of the Division of Physics.
