SUSSP66 International Summer School in Ultrafast Nonlinear Optics

这项提议是为了部分(25%)资助一个面向博士最后几年或博士后早期研究的年轻研究人员的超快非线性光学国际暑期学校。它计划接待大约70名来自欧洲和北美的学生，以及来自欧洲和美国的12名讲师，在10天的时间里进行36次演讲。该学院是在苏格兰大学物理暑期学校(SuSSP)系列中组织的。该学院的其他资金来自SUPA(苏格兰大学物理联盟)和SUSSP。以前的南南太平洋学校有资格获得北约(作为高级研究所)、欧盟(在FP 6及更早版本下)或EPSRC/STFC/EPS(根据2008年失效的联合谅解备忘录)的大量支持，但南南太平洋学校66不再提供这些形式的支持。因此，为了在财务上可行，SSP66必须从学生注册费中收回成本余额。在这种情况下，我们希望通过获得EPSRC的部分支持，为来自英国研究小组的20名学生提供50%的助学金，以最大限度地提高学院对英国的好处。注册费是950，所以这项支持总计9500。我们还要求支付学院4名英国讲师的全部费用，共计6720名，以确保英国在一批杰出的国际讲师中具有强大的代表性。最后，我们要求与学校运营相关的项目具体费用为3500英镑。在增加所需的调查人员费用后，EPSRC的总成本将为20987(26233 FEC)。

This proposal is for partial (< 25%) funding of an international Summer School on 'Ultrafast Nonlinear Optics' aimed at young researchers in the final years of their PhD or the early years of post-doctoral research. It is planned to host around 70 students from Europe and North America with 12 lecturers from Europe and the USA, giving 36 lectures over a 10-day period. The School is being organised in the Scottish Universities Summer Schools in Physics (SUSSP) series. Other funding for the School is in place from SUPA (the Scottish Universities' Physics Alliance) and SUSSP. Previous SUSSP schools were eligible for substantial support from either NATO (as an Advanced Study Institute), the EU (under FP 6 and earlier) or EPSRC / STFC / EPS (under a joint MoU which lapsed in 2008), however these forms of support are no longer available to SUSSP66. To be financially viable SUSSP66 must therefore recover the balance of its costs from student registration fees. In this context, we wish to maximise the benefit of the School to the UK by securing partial support from the EPSRC to provide 50% bursaries for 20 students from UK research groups. The registration fee is 950, so this support amounts to 9500. We also request the full costs of 4 UK lecturers at the School, amounting to 6720, guaranteeing a strong UK representation amongst a group of distinguished international lecturers. Finally we request project-specific costs of 3500 associated with the running of the School. After the addition of required investigator staff costs, the total cost to the EPSRC will be 20987 (26233 FEC).
