Student and Postdoc Travel Support for International Workshop on Future trends in DNA-based nanotechnology
Abstract
We seek fund to support student and postdoctoral scholar from US Institutions to attend the International Workshop on Future Trends in DNA-based Nanotechnology (DNATEC17), which will take place in May 2017 at Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany. The primary purpose of these funds is to provide assistance to students and postdoctoral scholars who are delivering oral or poster presentations at the conference. The process of selecting the travel award recipients is based on the quality of the submission of abstracts and is intended to give priority to women and underrepresented minorities, in addition to supporting quality researchpresentations. Approximately 6 outstanding student and postdoctoral scholar applicants, from USinstitutions, will be funded for travel and accommodations, with an estimated average award of~$1600 USD per student or postdoc. The travel awards will help to foster the development of the next generation of molecular designers and molecular programmers, by encouraging students to attend, present their work, and interact with other important players in the field. This exposure will allow them to gain an understanding of the process of creating and developing sound scientificideas. Interdisciplinarity is absolutely engrained within the goals of this workshop. At DNATEC17, young scholars will see that the leaders in their field are devoted to the idea of producing the highest quality interdisciplinary research. A full day of tutorials at the beginning of the conference will facilitate students understanding of work from a variety of fields.
