Biennial African School on Fundamental Physics and its Applications

该奖项为美国学生和讲师提供部分支持，以参加将于2012年7月15日至8月4日在加纳库马西KNUST举行的第二届“两年一度的非洲基础物理及其应用学校”。学校将有三个主要课题：1）理论物理，2）实验亚原子物理和3）加速器和技术。内容将主要针对博士生和完成大学最后一年学业的学生，但也鼓励年轻研究人员申请。这所学校将为美国学生和专业物理学家提供一个与撒哈拉以南非洲同行互动并建立合作和伙伴关系的机会。 该计划由NSF物理部门通过其基本粒子物理实验和理论计划以及NSF国际科学与工程办公室通过其全球风险基金共同支持。

This award provides partial support for US students and lecturers to attend the second "Biennial African School on Fundamental Physics and its Applications" to be held in KNUST, Kumasi, Ghana, from July 15 to August 4, 2012. There will be three main topics at the school: 1) theoretical physics, 2) experimental sub-atomic physics and 3) accelerators and technologies. The contents will be aimed primarily at doctoral students and on students finishing their last year of university studies, but young researchers will also be encouraged to apply. This school will serve as an opportunity for US students and professional physicists to interact with their counterparts in sub-Saharan Africa and to form collaborations and partnerships. The program is supported jointly by NSF Division of Physics, through its programs in Elementary Particle Physics Experiment and Theory, and the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering through its Global Venture Fund.
