U.S. Participation and Organization of the 2011 Canadian-American-Mexican Graduate Student Conference (CAM2011) to be held September 29 - October 1, 2011 in Washington, DC

该奖项为美国物理学会（APS）组织和学生参加加拿大、美国和墨西哥物理学会联合举办的研究生会议（CAM 2011）提供支持，该会议将于2011年9月29日至10月1日在华盛顿特区由美国物理学会主办。科学项目将包括由物理学分支学科(如天文学和天体物理学；原子、分子和光学物理；生物物理学;凝聚态物理；和核/粒子物理，然后是学生的演讲，以补充全体会议的主题。学生海报会议将为项目的科学部分画上圆满的句号。所有的学生参与者都将通过口头或海报的形式展示他们在研究生院所做的研究。通过将在职科学家和学生聚集在一个非正式的环境中，会议还将使学生能够探索和讨论年轻物理学家的职业选择。通过特别的专题和技术会议，学生将有机会在自己的教室和研究实验室之外获得更广阔的物理视野。会议将促进学生参与者之间的科学交流，促进北美大陆青年科学家之间的国际合作，使研究生接触到超出其个人研究领域的物理学子学科，并促进子学科内的跨学科研究。会议的组织工作由学生们负责。总的来说，它将为美国的下一代研究人员提供优秀的培训

This award provides support to the American Physical Society (APS) for organization and student travel to participate in the joint Canadian, US, and Mexican physical societies' graduate student conference (CAM 2011), to be hosted by the American Physical Society in Washington D.C., from September 29th to October 1st, 2011. The scientific program will include plenary talks by well-known invited professors in physics sub-disciplines such as Astronomy & Astrophysics; Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics; Biophysics; Condensed Matter Physics; and Nuclear/Particle Physics, and followed by contributed talks from students to complement the plenary session topics. A student poster session will round out the scientific portion of the program. All student participants will present, either through an oral or a poster contribution, the research they have performed in graduate school. By bringing together working scientists and students in an informal setting, the conference will also enable students to explore and discuss career options available to young physicists. Through special topical and technical sessions, students will have the opportunity to gain a broader view of physics beyond their own classrooms and research laboratories. The meeting will generate scientific exchange among them student participants, promote international collaborations among young scientists within the North American continent, expose graduate students to sub-disciplines in physics beyond their individual research areas, and promote interdisciplinary research within the sub-disciplines. The meeting's organization is carried out by the students. Overall, it will provide excellent training for next generation researchers in the U.S.
