Call for Participation
The 2011 UPMARC Summer School on Multicore Computing focuses on programming languages for concurrent and parallel computing and will take place in Stockholm, Sweden in June 20-23, 2011. The school is subsidised by the UPMARC research programme (see upmarc.se) and is organised by Uppsala University.
Courses
The school consists of a number of lectures and talks from international leaders in their field, including:
* Doug Lea, SUNY Oswego, US
The Design and Engineering of Concurrency Libraries
* Ganesh Gopalakrishnan, The University of Utah, US
Formal Verification Methods for Message Passing and GPU Computing
* Francesco Zappa Nardelli, INRIA Rocquencourt, France
Shared Memory: An Elusive Abstraction
* Philipp Haller, EPFL, Switzerland, and Stanford University, USA
Scala for Multicore Programming
* Joe Armstrong, Ericsson, Sweden
Concurrent and Parallel Programming — What’s the difference?
* Kostis Sagonas, Uppsala University, Sweden
Erlang-style concurrency: pros, cons and implementation issues
School Objective
The objective of the school is to offer foundational tutorials accompanied by a selection of exiting new emerging technologies and industrial applications in the multicore-related areas, all given by leading scientific and industrial experts of the community. We aim to attract graduate students and young scientists and, through tutorials and lectures, prepare them for research on identifying and addressing fundamental challenges that will enable all programmers to leverage the potential performance from the ongoing shift to universal parallel computing. We also aim to provide a fun and stimulating environment for students to meet and establish connections with other students, world-class researchers from academia and industry, local faculty, and other senior scientists.

ADB is an international development finance institution whose mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people.
Headquartered in Manila, and established in 1966, ADB is owned and financed by its 67 members, of which 48 are from the region and 19 are from other parts of the globe.
ADB’s main partners are governments, the private sector, nongovernment organizations, development agencies, community-based organizations, and foundations.
Under Strategy 2020, a long-term strategic framework adopted in 2008, ADB will follow three complementary strategic agendas: inclusive growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration.
In pursuing its vision, ADB’s main instruments comprise loans, technical assistance, grants, advice, and knowledge.
Although most lending is in the public sector – and to governments – ADB also provides direct assistance to private enterprises of developing countries through equity investments, guarantees, and loans. In addition, its triple-A credit rating helps mobilize funds for development.

Ultrafast Optical Spectroscopy (or Femtosecond laser spectroscopy) is a powerful technique for obtaining information on the carrier and quasi-particle dynamics in material systems on ultrashort time scales. This is an emerging field that is full of challenges and new opportunities. Detailed knowledge of such ultrafast dynamics is essential for the development of novel materials for electronics and optoelectronics applications. We welcome applications for a Summer Research Internship at our group – xC-laboratory. Below is the project description:
Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Novel Plasmonic/Organic photovoltaic cells
In this project, we investigate the charge carrier dynamics in the novel plasmonic/organic photovoltaic cells (e.g. Au Nanowire/P3HT-PCBM organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices) using ultrafast spectroscopy (e.g. Transient Photoluminescence, Transient Absorption etc). Research based on these novel systems can provide a better understanding of the basic physics governing energy and charge transfer between the organic and Au nanowire systems that could possibly lead to enhanced power conversion efficiencies in light harvesting devices.
About the Program
The Summer Research Internship (SRI) Programme at Nanyang Technological University is a university wide Research Programme initiated to stimulate a culture of research for the overseas undergraduates. Participants for this programme will develop research interest, strong sense of cross-cultural intelligence, gain a network of friends and a better understanding of our nation. Eligible overseas undergraduate students will be given an allowance, and are expected to fulfill a 8-week research attachment comprising project work at NTU, and presentation of their research project at a closing ceremony. All participants will receive a certificate issued by NTU upon completion of the programme. An attractive SRI grant covering Tuition fees and a one-off allowance amounting up to SGD $3,000 (which will help to cover hostel fees) will be awarded to the successful applicant.
More details of the eligibility and application procedures can be found here: http://global.ntu.edu.sg/global/SRI/Pages/SRIProgramme.aspx
Application Dateline: 31 Dec 2010
Please feel free to contact me (tzechien[ at ]ntu.edu.sg) if you require more information or advice on the application procedures, cost of living in Singapore etc.

Eligibility:
The applicant must have:
• an undergraduate (first university) degree,
• a minimum of five years of substantial professional experience,
• limited or no prior experience in the United States,
• demonstrated leadership qualities,
• a record of public service in the community, and
• strong English skills.
Application instructions:
The deadlines for applicants vary by country but falls July each year. Please check with the Embassy or Fulbright Commission in your country to learn about the exact deadline for submitting applications.

The Norman E. Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellows Program helps developing countries strengthen sustainable agricultural practices by providing short-term scientific training and collaborative research opportunities to visiting researchers, policymakers and university faculty while they work with a mentor.
The program targets developing countries and matches participants with experts in their field at land-grant universities and 1890's colleges, government agencies, international research centers and other nonprofit institutions and private companies.
The Borlaug Fellowship Program was launched in March 2004 in honor of Dr. Norman E. Borlaug, who has been hailed as the father of the Green Revolution.
In 2007, Dr. Borlaug received the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian award, for his lifetime contributions to improving international agriculture and global food security. Dr. Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his success in developing high-yielding wheat varieties and reversing severe food shortages that haunted India and Pakistan in the 1960's. Credited with saving millions of lives, his work virtually eliminated recurring famines in South Asia and helped global food production outpace population growth.
The program is administered by USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service in cooperation with the U.S. Agency for International Development, the U.S. Department of State, and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency.
