Student and Early Career Travel to ICC3 - The 3rd International Congress on Ceramics November 14 - 18, 2010 Osaka, Japan

非技术描述：第三届国际陶瓷大会(ICC3)是由国际陶瓷联合会设计的两年一度的会议中最新的一次，旨在促进世界范围内关于陶瓷和玻璃行业的主要趋势和机遇的讨论和规划。2006年的第一届大会为陶瓷提供了历史性的技术路线图。ICC2以更多以欧洲为中心的观点加强了这一前景。ICC3将于2010年11月11日至14日在大阪举行，将以亚洲为中心，补充以往的路线图。该项目支持约10名研究生、博士后助理和早期职业教师参加ICC3，并在会后立即参加为期两天的日本陶瓷公司之旅和文化活动，以支付旅费和当地费用。技术细节：ICC3计划和这些旅行基金将用于突出和鼓励陶瓷界的多样性和广阔的前景。首先，将广泛宣传这一旅行机会，以鼓励广泛和多样化的参与。按照这些思路，日本陶瓷学会同意在会议网站(http://www.ceramic.or.jp/icc3/))上发布一个网页，介绍受邀的女性演讲者。为了促进更长期的影响，可以延长在日本逗留期间在日本大学和研究所学习或进行研究的候选人将优先获得支持。日本科学促进会(JSPS)将与ICC3和国际科学促进会的组织者合作，向旅行研究员介绍JSPS短期和长期研究金的机会。NSF旅行研究员招待会和会议将于11月14日周日下午举行，届时ICC3会议将于当晚正式开幕。招待会上将有演讲者介绍他们是如何解决家庭工作问题、职业发展和职业网络的。在招待会期间，将分发一个子节目，介绍受邀女演讲者的时间和地点以及NSF旅行研究员的陈述和海报。最后，这次会议和行业之旅将使学生第一手接触到美国学生在研究生教育过程中通常不会经历的研究方法、设施和视角。具体地说，这次参观将使日本的工业实践与美国的工业进行比较。

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The 3rd International Congress on Ceramics (ICC3) is the latest in the biennial meetings designed by the International Ceramics Federation to facilitate worldwide discussion and planning about major trends and opportunities for ceramic and glass industries. The first Congress in 2006 provided a historic technological roadmap for ceramics. ICC2 augmented this outlook with a more European-centric perspective. ICC3, to be held November 11-14, 2010 in Osaka, will supplement previous roadmaps with an Asian-centric focus. This project supports travel and local expenses for approximately ten graduate students, post-doctoral associates and early career faculty to attend and participate in ICC3 and to participate in a two-day tour of Japanese ceramic companies and cultural events directly following the meeting. TECHNICAL DETAILS: The ICC3 program and these travel funds will be used to highlight and encourage diversity and broad perspectives in the ceramics community. First and foremost, this travel opportunity will be widely advertised to encourage broad and diverse participation. Along these lines, the Japan Society of Ceramics has agreed to post a web page on the meeting web site (http://www.ceramic.or.jp/icc3/) featuring the invited women speakers. To promote longer-term impact, candidates who can extend their stay while in Japan to study or do research at Japanese universities and institutes will have top priority in securing support. The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) will work with the organizers of ICC3 and the PI to introduce the travel fellows to the opportunities available for short- and long-term JSPS fellowships. An NSF Travel Fellows reception and meeting will be held Sunday afternoon, Nov 14, before the ICC3 meeting officially opens that evening. The reception will feature speakers who will describe how they have addressed family-work issues, career development, and career networking. During the reception, a sub-program will be distributed that features the time and location of the invited women speakers and the presentations and posters of the NSF travel fellows. Finally, the meeting and industry tour will result in first-hand exposure to research approaches, facilities and perspectives that American students do not normally experience in the course of their graduate education. Specifically, the tour will enable a comparison of Japanese industrial practices with U.S. industry.
