2011 Large Facilities Workshop at the Florida State University (FSU), Tallahassee, FL

这份来自数学和物理科学理事会材料研究部和多学科活动办公室的奖励支持佛罗里达州立大学于2011年4月19日至21日在佛罗里达州塔拉哈西主办NSF大型设施研讨会。2011年美国国家科学基金会大型设施研讨会将与之前的研讨会一样，将项目主管、设施经理和其他参与大型设施管理的人员聚集在一起，讨论共同问题并相互学习。年代的经历。重点是设备运行，而不是科学研究。具体目标包括讨论设施运营经验，发展设施之间的个人联系，就当前问题进行教育，以及讨论当前关注的问题。获奖者负责管理国家高磁场实验室（NHMFL）。NHMFL是由三个机构组成的网络，盖恩斯维尔的佛罗里达大学和新墨西哥州的洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室。它是美国唯一的国家用户设施。它拥有世界上最大、功率最高的磁体实验室。会议将持续三天，包括全体会议，分组讨论，以及对FSU （NHMFL）和南极海洋地质研究设施的大型设施的实地考察。会议将促进传播和获取有关有效管理大型设施的资料，从而提高对大型设施营办商的认识和了解。通过寻找和分享更好的方法来操作和管理这些设施，管理者可以加强、扩大和延续nsf支持的研究基础设施的能力。

This award from the Division of Materials Research and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the Mathematical and physical Sciences Directorate supports Florida State University to host the NSF's Large Facilities Workshop in Tallahassee, FL, on April 19-21, 2011. The 2011 NSF Large Facilities Workshop will share the goals of previous workshops, which are to bring together program directors, facility managers and others involved in large facility management, to discuss common issues and learn from each other?s experiences. The emphasis is on facility operation rather than scientific research. Specific goals include discussions of facility operating experiences, development of personal contacts between facilities, education on current issues, and discussions of current concerns. The awardee operates the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL). The NHMFL is a network of three institutions, the University of Florida in Gainesville, and the the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. It is the only national user facility of its kind in the United States. It has the largest and highest-powered magnet laboratory in the world. The meeting will occur over 3 days, and include plenary sessions, breakout discussions, and field trips to large facilities at FSU (NHMFL and The Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility. The meeting will contribute to the advancement of knowledge and understanding of large facilities operators by facilitating dissemination of, and access to, information regarding the efficient management of large facilities. By seeking out and sharing better ways to operate and manage these facilities, administrators can strengthen, broaden and perpetuate the capabilities of NSF-supported research infrastructure.
