TECHNICAL: MetFoam 2007 is the 5th International Conference on Porous Metals and Metallic Foams and will take place on September 2007 in Montreal (Canada). The focus of the meeting is to discuss latest developments in metallic foams. Topics include metfoam production, manufacturing, and fundamental understanding of structure-property relationships, with an eye towards applications. Topics such as synthesis of cellular metals, characterization, structure-property relationships, etc. will be discussed. The requested budget will be used entirely to provide partial financial support for university students attending or presenting their research at Metfoam 2007. Travel grants, up to about US $500, will be used to partially defray participation costs. NON-TECHNICAL: Organizers will give special considerations to women and minorities in giving support, with the goal of having half the recipient female or minority. Organizers expect to significantly boost, through these grants, student participation to this conference. Approximately 150 conference submissions are expected at the conference, with a total of 200-300 participants. An industrial exhibition will highlight their applications. In addition to the requested NSF support, conference sponsors include ten companies, Aluminum Research & Development Centre of Quebec, The Canadian Metallurgical Society, Fraunhofer Institute, The Government of Quebec, and the City of Montreal. NSF fund availability will be announced to students by email.

技术：MetFoam 2007 是第五届多孔金属和金属泡沫国际会议，将于 2007 年 9 月在蒙特利尔（加拿大）举行。会议的重点是讨论泡沫金属的最新进展。主题包括气象泡沫的生产、制造以及对结构-性能关系的基本了解，并着眼于应用。将讨论细胞金属的合成、表征、结构-性能关系等主题。所申请的预算将全部用于为参加 Metfoam 2007 或在 Metfoam 2007 上展示其研究成果的大学生提供部分财务支持。最多约 500 美元的旅费补助金将用于部分支付参与费用。非技术性：组织者在提供支持时将特别考虑女性和少数族裔，目标是让一半的受助者为女性或少数族裔。组织者希望通过这些赠款显着提高学生对本次会议的参与度。会议预计将收到约 150 篇会议论文，参会人数总计 200-300 人。工业展览将重点展示它们的应用。除了所请求的 NSF 支持外，会议赞助商还包括十家公司、魁北克铝研究与开发中心、加拿大冶金学会、弗劳恩霍夫研究所、魁北克政府和蒙特利尔市。 NSF 基金的可用性将通过电子邮件向学生公布。
