20th Anniversary Workshop for the NSF/DOE Partnership in Basic Plasma Science and Engineering

该奖项将支持为期两天半的研讨会，庆祝NSF/DOE基础等离子体科学和工程合作伙伴关系成立20周年。在伙伴关系存在的20年里，它资助了200多名主要研究人员进行广泛的研究，包括高能量密度等离子体，低温等离子体，天体物理和空间等离子体，等离子体加速器等。他们中的一些人已经成为NSF和DOE奖项的首席研究员。 所有现任和前任首席研究员，以及NSF和DOE的几位现任和前任项目官员，他们在创建，组织和管理伙伴关系方面发挥了重要作用，都被邀请参加。来自美国国家科学基金会、美国能源部和其他联邦政府机构的100多名研究人员将参加研讨会，讨论美国国家科学基金会和美国能源部在基础等离子体科学与工程领域的合作伙伴关系在过去20年中所取得的科学成就，以及基础等离子体物理及其应用的未来。 讲习班将包括一次讨论伙伴关系历史的会议、26次应邀的科学讲座、一次有28份海报介绍的海报会议和两次小组讨论。 该奖项由物理学部、天文学部、大气和地球空间科学部以及化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统部共同资助。

This award will support a two-and-one-half day workshop celebrating the 20th anniversary of the NSF/DOE Partnership in Basic Plasma Science and Engineering. In the 20 years that the Partnership has existed, it has funded over 200 Principal Investigators for research on a wide range of topics including high energy density plasmas, low temperature plasmas, astrophysical and space plasmas, plasma based accelerators, etc. The Partnership has funded the research of many students and postdocs, some of whom have gone on to become Principal Investigators of NSF and DOE awards in their own right. All current and former Principal Investigators, as well as several current and former program officers at NSF and DOE who have had significant roles in creating, organizing, and managing the Partnership were invited to attend. The expected attendance is about 100 researchers as well as representatives of NSF, DOE, and other federal government agencies involved in supporting plasma science and engineering.The workshop attendees will discuss the scientific achievements supported by the NSF/DOE Partnership in Basic Plasma Science and Engineering over the past 20 years, as well as the future of the field of basic plasma physics and its applications. The workshop will include a session discussing the history of the Partnership, 26 invited scientific talks, a poster session with 28 poster presentations, and two panel discussions. This award is being co-funded by the Division of Physics, the Division of Astronomical Sciences, the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, and the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems.
