Student Travel Support for The Web Conference 2020 (TheWebConf2020)

该奖项支持15名美国留学生参加2020年4月20日至24日在台湾台北举行的2020年网络会议(TheWebConf 2020)。学生们参加会议是为了展示他们自己的工作，有机会学习并与该领域的领导者讨论当前的研究主题，以及通过会议提供的众多额外活动和网络机会进一步发展他们的职业生涯。会议的活动包括研究跟踪会议、演示会议、研讨会、教程、展览会议(包括行业赞助商的展位)，以及专门针对学生的活动，包括博士研讨会。作为网络大会倡导多样性的更广泛努力的一部分，特别强调纳入代表性不足的少数族裔学生、女性和本科生。网络会议(前身为WWW会议)是关于万维网未来发展方向的主要国际会议。该系列会议于1994年在欧洲核子研究中心开始。这次会议汇集了研究人员、开发人员、用户和商业企业，并提供了一个开放的论坛，所有意见都可以在这个论坛上发表，但要经过严格的同行审查。会议的地点在北美、欧洲和亚洲之间轮流举行。2020年大会将庆祝网络问世30周年。会议记录将发表在计算机械协会(ACM)数字图书馆上。2020年网络会议的网站(https://www2020.thewebconf.org)提供了更多信息。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
