International Meeting on Developments in Ceramic Science and Engineering: The last 50 years

该提案涉及支持工作人员费用和受邀演讲者在陶瓷科学与工程的发展：过去50年的开支。这次会议的目的是回顾过去50年来工程陶瓷领域的发展。这次会议将纪念理查德·布鲁克爵士教授的70岁生日，他是Leverhulme信托基金会的主任，也是英国工程陶瓷的领军人物。会议将于2007年4月10日/ 11日在伦敦大学学院举行。来自英国、欧洲和美国的顶尖专家已确认参与，并提交了高质量的手稿，这些手稿将被审查并发表在会议期间发行的《欧洲陶瓷学会杂志》（Elsevier）特刊上。组织者的目的是鼓励来自学术界和工业界的年轻研究人员出席会议，这次会议将特别受益。因此，为初级参与者留出了一些名额，他们将收取150英镑的小额费用。希望这次会议能够成功地增进科学了解，并庆祝理查德·布鲁克爵士教授的职业生涯。

This proposal relates to support for staff costs and expenses for invited speakers at Developments in Ceramic Science and Engineering: the last 50 years. The meeting has been organised to review developments made in the field of engineering ceramics during the last 50 years. The meeting will mark the 70th birthday of Professor Sir Richard Brook, Director of the Leverhulme Trust and a leading figure of engineering ceramics in the UK. The meeting will take place at University College London, from 10 / 11 April 2007. Leading experts from the UK, Europe and USA have confirmed their participation and submitted high-quality manuscripts, which will be reviewed and published in a special issue of the Journal of the European Ceramic Society (Elsevier) to be distributed at the meeting. It is the aim of the organisers to encourage the attendance of young researchers from academia and industry, to whom this meeting will be of particular benefit. Therefore, a number of places have been set aside for junior participants, who will be charged a small fee of 150. It is hoped that the meeting will be successful in enhancing scientific understanding and celebrating the career of Professor Sir Richard Brook.
