2019 17th International Summer School on Crystal Growth (ISSCG-17)(Granby, Colorado)

材料研究部的这一奖项为2019年7月21日至26日在科罗拉多州格朗比的落基山脉雪山牧场基督教青年会举行的第17届国际晶体生长暑期学校（ISSCG-17）提供了支持。 该活动由美国晶体生长协会（AACG）在国际晶体生长组织（IOCG）的赞助下组织和主办。 该学校定于2019年7月28日至8月2日在美国科罗拉多州基斯通举行的第19届晶体生长和外延国际会议（ICCGE-19）前一周举行。 国际会议（ICCGE/ISSCG）代表了晶体生长和外延领域60年的国际合作历史。 暑期学校最后一次在2007年在美国犹他州帕克城举行。该技术计划包括约15个讲座，涵盖了该领域领先研究人员的半导体，氧化物，金属，有机和生物晶体的生长和表征的理论和实验方面。 学校的形式旨在鼓励讲师和与会者之间的互动。 将通过技术和社会活动促进非正式讨论。 YMCA场地有许多户外活动，这将为与会者提供更多的机会，在乡村和风景优美的户外环境中进行互动。该奖项反映了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 award from the Division of Materials Research provides support for the 17th International Summer School on Crystal Growth (ISSCG-17) to be held at the YMCA of the Rockies - Snow Mountain Ranch in Granby, CO from July 21-26, 2019. The event is organized and hosted by the American Association for Crystal Growth (AACG) under the auspices of the International Organization for Crystal Growth (IOCG). The school is scheduled the week prior to the 19th International Conference on Crystal Growth and Epitaxy (ICCGE-19) which will be held in Keystone, CO USA from July 28-August 2, 2019. The international meetings (ICCGE/ISSCG) represent a 60-year history of international cooperation in the field of crystal growth and epitaxy. The summer school was last held in the USA in Park City, UT in 2007. The technical program consists of about 15 lectures covering both theoretical and experimental aspects of growth and characterization of semiconducting, oxide, metallic, organic and biological crystals by leading researchers in the field. The format of the school is designed to encourage interaction between lecturers and attendees. Informal discussions will be facilitated via technical and social events. The YMCA venue has numerous outdoor activities which will provide additional opportunities for attendees to interact in a rustic and scenic outdoor setting.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.
