NSF Student and Junior Researcher Travel Grant for 2018 Intensive Research Program on Discrete, Combinatorial, and Computational Geometry

该旅行奖励可以支付选定的美国学生参加离散、组合和计算几何密集研究计划（IRP-DCCG）的费用，该计划将于2018年4月16日至6月8日在西班牙巴塞罗那贝拉特拉的数学研究中心举行。该活动是一个为期数周的迷你课程和最先进的讲座，除了实际操作软件和解决问题的经验，旨在激发兴趣和深化离散，组合和计算几何的研究能力，这反过来又扩大了研究和应用领域之间的交叉施肥的机会。一些欧洲资金来源支持讲师。除了允许美国学生参加此次活动外，该奖项还可以为众多美国讲师中的两位支付部分旅费。它特别鼓励和促进代表性不足的群体的参与，使初级研究人员有机会参与在为期数周的密集研究活动中培养的重要技术、专业和国际交流。有关信息和评选标准，请参见http://dccg.upc.edu/events/intensive-research-program-on-dccg.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This travel award can defray costs for selected US-based students to participate in the Intensive Research Program on Discrete, Combinatorial and Computational Geometry (IRP-DCCG), which will take place April 16 through June 8, 2018 at the Centre de Recerca Matematica, Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain. This event is a multi-week program of mini-courses and state-of-the-art lectures, in addition to hands-on experience with software and problem-solving designed to stir interest and deepen capability for research in discrete, combinatorial, and computational geometry, which in turn expands the opportunities for cross-fertilization between areas of research and application. Several European funding sources support lecturers. This award can defray some of the travel costs for two of the many US-based lecturers, in addition to allowing US-based students to take advantage of the event. It particularly encourages and facilitates the participation of under-represented groups, giving junior researchers an opportunity to engage in the important technical, professional, and international exchanges that are fostered at a multi-week intensive research event. For information and selection criteria, see http://dccg.upc.edu/events/intensive-research-program-on-dccg.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
