Student Travel Stipends for ICOM 2008

CBET-0835536科恩旅游基金被要求部分支持来自全国各地的24名美国大学生参加2008年7月13日至18日在檀香山，夏威夷举行的国际膜大会。这些资金将用于帮助那些作为作者或合著者参加口头和海报展示的学生。这些资金将用于支付参加会议的学生的注册，住宿和机票费用。资金将用于提供24个津贴，每个500美元。为学生提供的额外旅行支持已从从事膜制造、在膜技术的一般领域工作或在膜科学和技术方面有利害关系的各种公司获得。学生将有机会参加会议，并与来自世界各地的学者和专业人士互动。学生参与者将与来自世界各地的领先科学家互动并讨论膜科学和技术的各个方面，获得对自己研究工作的反馈，并提高自己对膜科学及其技术应用的最新知识。2008年是世界上最大的膜技术会议（每三年举行一次），将包括54个关于基础和应用膜科学和技术的前沿技术会议。预计来自世界各地的1,000多名膜研究人员将代表工业，政府和学术机构。2008年由北美膜协会（NAMS）主办，由世界三大膜协会NAMS、欧洲膜协会和东盟膜协会共同赞助。学生支持也将产生广泛的影响，因为它将提高美国大学的国际知名度，展示美国学生研究的高水平，并有助于吸引即将到来的年轻一代专业人士进入快速发展的膜科学和技术领域。

CBET-0835536CohenTravel funds are requested to partially support the participation of 24 US university students from across the country at the International Congress on Membranes (ICOM) July 13-18, 2008 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The funds will be used to assist those students who are participating as authors or co-authors in oral and poster presentations. The funds will be used to cover registration, housing, and airfare costs for students attending the meeting. Funds will be used to provide 24 stipends of $500 each. Additional travel support for students has been solicited from various companies that are engaged in the manufacturing of membranes, working in the general area of membrane technology or with a stake in membrane science and technology. The students will be given the opportunity to attend conference sessions, and interact with academics and professionals from around the world. The student participants will interact and discuss various aspects of membrane science and technology with leading scientists from around the world, get feedback on their own research work, and advance their own knowledge of the sate-of-the-art in membrane science and its technological applications. ICOM 2008, the largest membrane technology meeting in the world (held every three years), will consist of 54 cutting-edge technical sessions on fundamental and applied membrane science and technology. Over 1,000 membrane researchers are expected from all various parts of the world representing industry, government, and academic institutions. ICOM 2008 is organized by the North American Membrane Society (NAMS) and is co-sponsored by the three major membrane societies in the world, NAMS, the European Membrane Society, and the Aseanian Membrane Society. Student support will also have broad impacts as it will increase the international visibility of U.S. Universities, demonstrate the high level of student research in the U.S., and help to attract an upcoming young generation of professionals to the rapidly growing areas of membrane science and technology.
