Support of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to attend the Heidelberg Laureate Forum

该奖项为美国研究生和博士后研究人员提供旅费，用于参加2016年9月18日至23日在德国海德堡举行的第四届海德堡桂冠论坛(HLF)。HLF汇集了数学和计算机科学领域最负盛名的奖项(阿贝尔奖、菲尔兹奖、图灵奖和罗尔夫·内万林纳奖)的获奖者，花了一周的时间与200名早期职业研究人员进行互动。除了与获奖者和彼此进行科学交流外，论坛的与会者还获得了关于计算机和数学科学的宝贵的全球视角。HLF仿照林道诺贝尔奖获得者会议，通过讲座、小组讨论和随意对话，为研究生和博士后研究人员提供了接触一组科学榜样的非同寻常的机会。这样的经历会对早期职业研究人员的发展产生深远的影响。有关论坛的更多信息，请访问www.heidelberg-lareate-forum.org橡树岭联合大学(ORAU)将为论坛招募一批高素质和多样化的申请者。有许多非常有前途的早期职业研究人员，他们很少或根本没有机会与计算机和数学科学领域的主要奖项的获奖者互动。HLF对这些人来说是一个独特的机会，可以激励和指导未来的研究。招募和挑选参与者将强调机会对研究人员的潜在好处，以及确保广泛包容的参与者群体的总体目标。Orau将在论坛之前和期间提供后勤支助，并继续对与会者的经验进行评估，以记录论坛的影响。欲知详情，请登录www.orau.org/hlf。

This award provides travel funds for U.S. graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to attend the 4th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) in Heidelberg, Germany from September 18-23, 2016. The HLF brings together Laureates of the most prestigious awards in mathematics and computer science (the Abel Prize, the Fields Medal, the Turing Award, and the Rolf Nevanlinna Prize) to spend a week interacting with 200 early career researchers. In addition to the scientific exchanges with the Laureates and each other, participants at the Forum gain a valuable global perspective on computer and mathematical sciences. Modeled on the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, the HLF provides graduate students and postdoctoral researchers with extraordinary access to a group of scientific role models through lectures, small group discussions, and casual conversations. Such experiences can have a profound impact on the development of an early career researcher. For more information about the Forum, please see www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) will recruit a highly qualified and diverse applicant pool for the Forum. There are many exceptionally promising early career researchers who have little or no opportunity to interact with the Laureates of the major prizes in the computer and mathematical sciences. The HLF is a unique opportunity for these individuals, one that can energize and steer future research. The recruitment and selection of participants will emphasize the potential benefits of the opportunity for the researchers, as well as the overall goal of ensuring a broadly inclusive group of participants. ORAU will provide logistical support both prior to and during the forum and also continue to perform an assessment of participant experiences to document the impact of the Forum.
