Student Travel Grant for ICOPS 2016

该奖项将为研究生和本科生提供参与者支持，以参加2016年6月19日至23日在加拿大阿尔伯塔班夫举行的世界领先的等离子体科学与工程年度会议之一，第43届IEEE等离子体科学国际会议（ICOPS）。本次会议预计将有来自世界各地的约600名与会者，其中包括等离子体科学和工程研究领域的许多领导者。将有在等离子体科学和工程，包括基础等离子体物理，计算等离子体物理，以及应用加速器科学，地球空间，辐射源，惯性和磁约束聚变，等离子体辅助生物医学和环境研究的主要课题的演讲。此外，为了加强青年专业人士与潜在雇主之间的互动，会议还将举办一项新活动“IEEE NPSS青年专业人士研讨会”。该奖项将用于为学生参加会议提供部分差旅支持。学生们将做演讲，并参加青年专业人士的研讨会。学生旅行津贴的获得者将使用由学生旅行奖励委员会领导的择优选择过程进行选择。该计划将为年轻科学家提供一个与等离子体科学和工程领域更有经验的研究人员互动和学习的绝佳机会。

This award will provide participant support for graduate and undergraduate students to participate in one of the world's leading annual conferences on plasma science and engineering, the 43nd IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS), to be held in Banff, Alberta, Canada on June 19-23, 2016. This conference expects about 600 participants from around the world, including many of the leaders in plasma science and engineering research. There will be presentations in most of the major topics in plasma science and engineering, including basic plasma physics, computational plasma physics, as well as applications to accelerator science, geospace, radiation sources, inertial and magnetic confinement fusion, and plasma aided bio-medical and environmental research. In addition, to help enhance interactions among young professionals and potential employers, a new event "IEEE NPSS Young Professionals Symposium" will be organized as a part of the conference.The award will be used to provide partial travel support for students to attend the conference. The students will be making presentations and participating in the symposium for young professionals. The recipients of the student travel stipends will be selected using a merit-based selection process led by the Student Travel Award Committee. This program will be an excellent opportunity for young scientists to interact with and to learn from the more experienced researchers in plasma science and engineering.
