The International Center for Materials Research at UC Santa Barbara is seeking program suggestions for its 2009–2010 activities, including: 

Two-week summer schools, at UC Santa Barbara or elsewhere, aimed at graduate students and/or junior researchers.



One-week workshops or conferences, designed to bring together leading experts and junior researchers in a particular field.



International exchange of graduate students and junior researchers.



Longer term thematic research programs, incorporating multiple activities and exchanges, centered around a specific materials research problem.



We also encourage innovative new ideas in any area that connects broadly to materials research.

Proposals should contain a title, a paragraph or two explaining the idea, suggested organizers, key program participants, proposed dates, location, and an approximate budget. Criteria for the selection of programs include intellectual significance, timeliness, availability of outstanding and diverse participants, a need for international collaboration, expertise outside of the US and broader impacts, such as training international students, contribution to a pressing international problem, potential for engaging the wider community, and potential for broadening participation of underrepresented groups. The ICMR Director, Nicola Spaldin (805-893-7920; nicola@mrl. ucsb.edu), or Program Coordinator, Jennifer Ybarra (805-893-5850; [email protected]), will be pleased to discuss any ideas or questions. Decisions on 2009–2010 programs will be made at the Steering Committee meeting in March 2008; proposals and suggestions should be received before then to ensure full consideration.
