International Travel to the European Social Cognition Network Meeting

该项目将资助PI和两名研究生的旅行，以介绍他们的研究并参加将于2006年9月在波兰华沙/普尔图斯克举行的欧洲社会认知网络会议。ESCON会议为交流社会认知领域的最新科学发展提供了一个国际论坛。这次会议的创新之处不仅在于它的跨国代表性（约有16个国家将派代表参加），而且在于它为年轻研究人员提供了一个平台-包括两名学生，他们的旅行将得到这笔赠款的支持-提出他们的研究想法，并从该领域的各种专家那里得到广泛的反馈。PI作为受邀的全体演讲者之一，将向国际观众展示她的研究力量和刻板印象。因此，PI将有机会与与会者更广泛和非正式地讨论她的工作。 这次会议的一个更广泛的目标是促进国际研究合作，并为年轻研究人员融入国际科学界创造更多的机会。参加这次会议将提高PI和研究生的研究生涯，并将建立知识和社会跨国联系，这将对更广泛的社会认知领域产生积极影响。

This project will fund the travel of the PI and two graduate students to present their research and participate in the European Social Cognition Network (ESCON) conference to be held in Warsaw/Pultusk, Poland in September 2006. The ESCON meeting provides an international forum for the exchange of the most recent scientific developments in the field of social cognition. This conference is innovative not only in its cross-national representation (some 16 countries will be represented), but in its provision of a platform for young researchers -- including the two students whose travel will be supported on this grant -- to present their research ideas and to receive extensive feedback from a variety of experts in the field. The PI, as one of the invited plenary speakers, will present her research power and stereotyping to an international audience. Thus, the PI will have the opportunity to discuss her work more broadly and informally with attendees. One of the broader goals of this meeting is to foster international research collaborations and to develop additional opportunities for young researchers to become integrated into the international scientific community. Participation in this conference will both enhance the research careers of the PI and graduate students, and will establish intellectual and social cross-national connections that will have a positive impact on the broader field of social cognition.
