The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a global array of radio telescopes operating in unison to undertake 1mm wavelength Very Long Baseline Interferometry imaging of the black holes in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy and the core of the radio galaxy M87. The EHT may potentially be able to image the close environs of these black holes, near the event horizon, the region where the gravitational pull of the black hole is so powerful that not even light can escape. This conference brings together the growing community of researchers interested in this topic. Funding via this award will support other investments NSF is making in this area.Student training, outreach, and integrating junior researchers into the collaboration are important for STEM training in general and for building the EHT community. Supporting the travel of students and junior researchers to the 2014 collaboration conference is the top priority of this award. The proceedings of the workshop will be linked on the EHT2014 website after the meeting concludes. In addition to slides and abstracts, audio and video recordings of talks will be included. There will also be a public lecture by the PI during the conference.

事件地平线望远镜（EHT）是一系列全球射电望远镜，统一运行，在银河系中心的黑洞和射电宽Galaxy M87的核心中进行1mm波长非常长的基线干涉成像。 EHT有可能能够对这些黑洞的近距离想象事件地平线附近，而黑洞的重力拉力是如此强大，以至于甚至没有光无法逃脱。这次会议汇集了对该主题感兴趣的研究人员越来越多的社区。通过该奖项的资金将支持NSF在该领域进行的其他投资。学生培训，外展和将初级研究人员整合到合作中对于一般的STEM培训和建立EHT社区非常重要。支持学生和初级研究人员参加2014年合作会议的旅行是该奖项的重中之重。 会议结束后，研讨会的会议记录将在EHT2014网站上链接。除了幻灯片和摘要外，还将包括演讲的音频和视频记录。 会议期间，PI也将举行公开演讲。
