2014 Radiation Chemistry Gordon Research Conferences and Gordon Research Seminar

描述(由申请人提供)：这项建议的目的是将国际知名科学家聚集在一起，促进辐射化学新思想和最新发现的交流。关于辐射化学的戈登研究会议，GRC将涵盖物理、化学和生物学基础辐射科学的基础知识，以及在医学和工业中的应用。这次会议是一个很好的论坛，可以在科学学科之间架起知识的桥梁，并将这些知识转化为应用辐射科学的关键领域，以改善健康和安全。辐射化学是一门多学科的基础科学，与许多辐射应用有着密切的联系。这一领域的进展对于满足一些对社会具有重要意义的领域至关重要，包括：为辐射事故做好准备，保护我们的边境不受辐射威胁，以及满足日益增长的辐射防护和治疗需求。第二次，会议将从传统的平台扩展到包括戈登研究研讨会，GRS，以及GRC。GRS/GRC联合会议的一个主要目标是教育和促进对辐射驱动过程感兴趣的下一代科学家。之前的GRS非常成功，预计这些年轻的研究人员将在学术界和工业界发挥主导作用。GRS为研究生和博士后研究员提供了一个独立组织会议的机会，这将促进年轻研究人员之间的互动。此外，GRS增加了年轻研究人员与涵盖所有辐射科学领域的领导人互动的机会。为了促进这种互动，GRC开设了一个“青年调查人员会议”，旨在展示早期职业科学家，让他们有机会向不同的受众介绍和讨论他们的工作，观众中有横跨所有辐射科学领域的领导者。这项提议将为参加GRS和GRC的12名年轻调查人员提供支持。2014年GRS/GRC关于辐射化学的格式，其广泛的基础和应用辐射主题，是满足这一非常重要的未来需求的理想选择 纪律。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this proposal is to bring together internationally prominent scientists to facilitate the interchange of new ideas and recent discoveries in Radiation Chemistry. The Gordon Research Conference, GRC, on Radiation Chemistry will cover fundamental knowledge in the basic radiation sciences of physics, chemistry, and biology as well as applications in medicine and industry. This conference is an excellent forum for bridging knowledge between scientific disciplines and translating that knowledge to key areas of applied radiation science for improved health and security. Radiation chemistry is a multidisciplinary fundamental science that has close ties to many radiation applications. Advances in this field are vital to meet a number of areas of importance to society including: preparation for radiation incidents, securing our borders from radiation threats, and meeting the ever growing needs in radiation protection and therapy. For the second time, the conference will expand from its traditional platform to include a Gordon Research Seminar, GRS, along with the GRC. A major goal of this combined GRS/GRC meeting is to both educate and promote the next generation of scientists interested in radiation- driven processes. The previous GRS was extremely successful and these young investigators are expected to have dominant roles in academia and industry. The GRS provides an opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to independently organize a meeting that will foster interactions between the young investigators. In addition, the GRS increases opportunities for young investigators to interact with leaders encompassing all of the radiation science fields. To promote this interaction, the GRC features a "Young Investigators Session" that is designed to showcase early career scientists by giving them an opportunity to present and discuss their work with a diverse audience populated with leaders in fields that span all of the radiation sciences. This proposal will provide support for twelve young investigators attending the GRS and GRC. The format of the 2014 GRS/GRC on Radiation Chemistry, with its expansive range of basic and applied radiation topics, is ideal for meeting the future needs of this very important discipline.
