Group Travel Funding: XVI International Conference on Mechanics of Composite Materials

这笔奖金将用于支付美国代表团出席2010年5月24-28日在拉脱维亚里加举行的第十六届复合材料力学(MCM)大会的旅费。MCM会议由几个组织在拉脱维亚组织，是在东欧地区举行的关于结构复合材料的主要国际会议系列。这种旅行支持的目标是使不同群体的美国代表能够参与，他们将提交论文，并与一群在东欧地区以外的会议上不经常看到的复合研究人员互动，从而促进新想法和机会的双向交流。

This award will support the travel expenses of an American delegation to attend the XVI Mechanics of Composite Materials (MCM) Conference in Riga, Latvia on May 24-28, 2010. The MCM conference, organized by several organizations in Latvia, is the premier international conference series on structural composites held in the eastern European region. The goal of this travel support is to enable the participation of a diverse group US delegates who will present papers and interact with a group of composites researchers not often seen at conferences outside the eastern European region, thereby facilitating the communication of new ideas and opportunities in both directions.
