The SCCS (Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems) meeting is an international scientific conference with a broad focus that includes topics of relevance to multiple fields including, but not limited to, energy and environmental sciences, atmospheric sciences, astrophysics, and high energy density physics. Generally, between 100 and 200 scientists, students, and post-doctoral researchers attend this conference. Topics specifically covered at the conference include:- dense and astrophysical plasmas- density functional theory- ionic liquids- multi-component and astrophysical plasmas- dusty plasmas- white dwarfs- electron liquids- plasmas in condensed matter- confined and mesoscopic Coulomb systems- high energy density plasmas in the laboratory- classical charged systems- developments in theoretical methods and numerical techniquesDue to the interdisciplinary nature of this conference, it offers students a unique opportunity to not only learn how their research may be applied to other fields, but to also interact with top researchers within their own fields. The last time that this conference was held in the United States was in 2002. However because it took place not long after the attacks of September 11, 2001, many of the international participants were not able to obtain visas to attend. After twelve years, the organizers are finally able to bring the conference back to the US. The long hiatus from the US increases the potential impact of this conference on US science, since it will offer a more affordable opportunity for many US researchers. This is especially important for young researchers who are just beginning to build a network for future collaborations.The Principal Investigator anticipates a number of graduate and postgraduate students will attend. All participating students will be asked to fill out and submit an Application for Funding with supporting letters from their graduate advisors to the PI and a technical committee. All submitted applications will be carefully reviewed, and appropriate funds will be distributed to aid accepted students. Partial expenses will be reimbursed for travel, housing, and registration for each of approximately six to ten students.

SCCS（强耦合库仑系统）会议是一个关注广泛的国际科学会议，包括与多个领域相关的主题，包括但不限于能源和环境科学、大气科学、天体物理学和高能量密度物理学。一般来说，参加这次会议的科学家、学生和博士后研究人员在100至200名之间。会议具体涵盖的主题包括：- 致密和天体物理等离子体- 密度泛函理论- 离子液体- 多组分和天体物理等离子体- 尘埃等离子体- 白矮星- 电子液体- 凝聚态等离子体- 受限和介观库仑系统- 高能实验室中的密度等离子体-经典带电系统-理论方法和数值技术的发展由于本次会议的跨学科性质，它为学生提供了一个独特的机会，不仅可以了解他们的研究如何可以应用于其他领域，但也可以与自己领域内的顶尖研究人员互动。 该会议上一次在美国举行是在2002年。但由于会议是在2001年9月11日袭击事件发生后不久举行的，许多国际与会者未能获得参加签证。十二年后，组织者终于能够将会议带回美国。与美国的长期中断增加了这次会议对美国科学的潜在影响，因为它将为许多美国研究人员提供更实惠的机会。这对于刚刚开始为未来合作建立网络的年轻研究人员来说尤其重要。首席研究员预计将有许多研究生和研究生参加。 所有参与的学生将被要求填写并提交一份资助申请，并附上研究生导师向 PI 和技术委员会提供的支持信。所有提交的申请都将得到仔细审查，并将分配适当的资金来帮助被录取的学生。大约六到十名学生中的每人将报销部分交通费、住宿费和注册费。
