STUDENT SUPPORT FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON PLASMA CHEMISTRY, ISPC-2011

该奖项的主要目的是支持美国学生和研究人员参加将于2011年7月24日至29日在费城Lowes酒店举行的两年一度的等离子体化学国际研讨会ISPC-2011。提供资金为最多40名美国研究生和博士后学生参加会议期间的差旅费、住宿费和注册费提供部分支持。部分资金还计划用于扩大行业专家的参与，以加强大学/行业在等离子体化学领域的合作。 为了获得资格，研究论文的摘要必须提交给国际组织委员会，并附上一封描述过去，当前和未来研究的私人信件，以及学生的支持信。这个两年一度的论坛由国际等离子体化学学会主办，重点讨论等离子体在这一领域的基础科学和先进应用。其章程是一个论坛，交流等离子体化学的最先进的成就，也是一个教程环境，为那些新的领域。 因此，ISPC-2011将汇集等离子体化学领域的领先权威，以及新的研究人员，工程师和科学家。受邀演讲者将来自美国、加拿大、南美和中美洲、西欧和东欧、俄罗斯、日本、中国和东南亚的工业和大学。 预计将有多达1,000名科学家和工程师参加研讨会。预计ISPC-2011将有至少250名学生和年轻研究人员参加。其中约100至150人将来自美国。更广泛的影响是在技术和教育领域。 如上所述，会议旨在帮助一系列技术进步。 在教育方面，上述辅导经验是通过正式讲座和海报会议以及学生在非正式讨论期间与该领域领导人互动的机会获得的。在研讨会之前，还将为该领域的新人举办一个关于等离子体基础、产生和应用的暑期学校。

The main objective of this award is to support U.S. students and researchers to participate in the biennial International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry, ISPC-2011, to be held July 24-29, 2011, at the Lowes Hotel in Philadelphia. Funding is provided to provide partial support for up to 40 US graduate and postdoctoral students for travel expenses, lodging, and registration fees while attending the conference. Some portion of the funding is planned also to be used to extend participation of specialists from industry to intensify university/industry collaborations in the field of plasma chemistry. To qualify, the digest of a research paper must be submitted to the International Organizing Committee, accompanied by a personal letter describing the past, current and future research and by a letter of support from the student?s scientific advisor.The biennial forum is organized by the International Society of Plasma Chemistry, focusing on both the fundamental science and advanced applications of plasmas in this field. Its charter is to be a forum for exchange of the state-of-the-art achievements in plasma chemistry and also a tutorial environment for those new to the field. As such, ISPC-2011 will bring together leading authorities, as well as beginning researchers, engineers and scientists, in the field of Plasma Chemistry. Invited speakers will come from industry and universities in the US, Canada, South and Central America, western and eastern Europe, Russia, Japan, China, and southeast Asia. It is expected that up to 1,000 scientists and engineers will attend the symposium. The expectation is to have at least 250 students and young researchers at ISPC-2011. About 100 to 150 of them will be from the US.Broader impacts are in technology and education. The conference is intended to aid a range of technological advances, as described above. Educationally, the tutorial experience mentioned above is obtained through the formal lectures and poster sessions and by the opportunities the students have to interact with the leaders in the field during the informal discussion times. The symposium will also be preceded by a summer school on plasma fundamentals, generation and applications for the newcomers into the field.
