Student Travel for Magnetism Summer School. To be held in Chennai, India, May 22-28, 2012.

项目概要资金被要求为美国研究生提供旅行支持，以参加2012年在印度金奈举行的IEEE磁学协会暑期学校。MagnetismSummer School是IEEE Magnetics Society的缩写。我们的主要外展工作是促进磁学领域的教育，吸引更多的年轻科学家选择磁学和相关领域的研究事业。为期一周的磁学暑期学校是专为研究磁学的研究生设计的，将由国际专家讲课，并将包括参与研究生的海报展示。该计划将涵盖磁学的基本原理和高级主题。暑期学校为年轻科学家提供了一个独特的机会，让他们在轻松和学院式的氛围中与各自领域的领导者会面，并开始在国际研究界建立同事网络。美国国家科学基金会申请的资金将为美国研究生参加暑期学校提供额外的机会。智力优势暑期学校为磁学研究领域的信息交流提供了一个论坛。除了正式的讲座外，每个参与的学生都需要展示一张关于他们当前研究的海报。这些主题在海报会议期间在学生和讲师之间进行讨论。更广泛的影响暑期学校的更广泛的影响在于在一个快速发展和经济上重要的领域对科学家和研究人员的教育。学员将通过国际知名专家的讲座学习基础和高级主题。此外，还有一定程度的文化教育，教导年轻科学家与来自其他国家的同事互动并尊重他们。暑期学校的组织者特别鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族申请。该方案委员会还努力为暑期学校选择多样化的讲师，为女性和少数民族学生提供榜样。

Project SummaryFunds are requested to provide travel support for U.S. graduates students to attendthe 2012 IEEE Magnetics Society Summer School in Chennai, India. The MagnetismSummer School is the IEEE Magnetics Society?s main outreach effort to promoteeducation in the field of magnetism and attract more young scientists to choose a researchcareer in magnetism and related areas. The one-week Magnetism Summer School isdesigned for graduate students studying magnetism, will consist of lectures byinternational experts and will include poster presentations by participating graduatestudents. The program will cover fundamentals and advanced topics in magnetism. Thesummer school is a unique opportunity for young scientists to meet leaders in their fieldin a relaxed and collegial atmosphere and to begin establishing a network of colleagues inthe international research community. The funds requested from NSF will provideadditional opportunities for U.S. graduate students to attend the Summer School.Intellectual MeritThe Summer School provides a forum for exchange of information in the field ofmagnetics research. In addition to formal lectures, each participating student is requiredto present a poster about their current research. These topics are discussed amongst thestudents and lecturers during poster sessions.Broader ImpactThe broader impact of the Summer School lies in the education of youngscientists and researchers in a fast-moving and economically important field. Participantswill learn both fundamental as well as advanced topics through lectures delivered byinternationally-renowned experts. In addition, there is a degree of cultural education,teaching young scientists to interact with and respect their colleagues from othercountries. The organizers of the Summer School particularly encourage women andunderrepresented minorities to apply. The program committee also strives for diversity in the lecturers selected for the summer school to provide role models for female and minority students.
