Travel Awards to Attend the First International Meeting of the American Mathematical Society and the Sociedad de Matematica de Chile

该项目资助旅行奖，以支持六名美国研究人员参加2010年12月15日至18日在智利普孔举行的美国数学学会和智利数学学会第一次国际会议上的代数和模型理论特别会议。将优先考虑参与者谁是博士。学生或获得博士学位的研究人员。在过去的8-10年内，有有限的或没有其他方式的旅行支持。希望特别会议和可能的卫星会议将提供美国和南美逻辑学家之间的广泛互动，超越已经建立的研究联系，并向更广泛的南美数学界展示南美逻辑的活力。符号逻辑协会将负责管理该项目，是国际领先的逻辑学家专业协会，其成员包括计算机科学，认知科学，语言学，数学和哲学的研究人员。它在世界各地组织和主办了一些重要会议。在北美和欧洲以外，特别是在拉丁美洲和亚洲，增加逻辑的可见度和存在，是该协会的最高长期优先事项之一。该协会，通过其活动和出版物，还积极寻求拥抱新的和新兴的领域，其中逻辑已经发挥了重要作用，包括计算机科学，语言学和认知科学。关于该协会的进一步资料可在其网站上查阅：http://www.aslonline.org。

This project funds travel awards to support six U.S. based researchers to participate in the Special Session on Algebra and Model Theory at the First International Meeting of the American Mathematical Society and the Sociedad de Matematica de Chile in Pucon, Chile, December 15-18, 2010. Preference will be given to participants who are Ph.D. students or are researchers who earned their Ph.D.'s within the last 8-10 years and have limited or no other means of travel support. It is hoped that the Special Session and a possible satellite meeting will provide for extensive interaction between U.S. and South American logicians beyond already well-established research contacts and display the vitality of logic in South America to the broader South American mathematical community. The Association for Symbolic Logic, which will administer the project, is the leading international professional society for logicians, whose membership includes researchers in computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, mathematics, and philosophy. It organizes and sponsors a number of important meetings throughout the world. Increasing the visibility and presence of logic outside North America and Europe, particularly in Latin America and Asia, is one of the Association's highest long-term priorities. The Association, through its activities and publications, also actively seeks to embrace new and emerging fields in which logic has come to play an important role, including computer science, linguistics, and cognitive science.
