Workshops in Organic Synthesis and Natural Products Chemistry

该奖项由“有机合成计划”颁发，将每年举办三届“有机合成与天然产物化学研讨会”。这些研讨会有两个目的：(1)为年轻科学家提供一个有效的论坛，就有机合成和天然产物的主题领域的当前研究进行非正式讨论；(2)协助项目工作人员确定新兴领域和研究人员。这一过程反过来又将有助于该方案进行长期规划。讲习班的具体目标包括：1)为有机合成和天然产物化学领域活跃的年轻研究人员提供一个动态交流的环境。​2)鼓励在相关领域工作的个人之间的合作态度，从而避免重复工作。3)激发参与者研究合成和天然产物化学中的新问题和新方法。4)创造一种氛围，使参与者之间的科学和社会互动既刺激又愉快。

This award from the Synthetic Organic Program will support a series of three annual "Workshops on Organic Synthesis and Natural Products Chemistry." These workshops have the dual purpose of (1) providing an effective forum for informal discussion among young scientists on current research in topical areas of organic synthesis and natural products, and (2) assisting the Program staff in identifying emerging areas and researchers. This process, in turn, will aid the Program in long-range planning. The specific goals of the workshops include: 1) Providing an environment for the dynamic exchange of ideas in organic synthesis and natural products chemistry among a small group (about 20) of active young researchers in these fields. 2) Encouraging an attitude of cooperation among individuals working in related areas, and thereby, avoiding duplicative efforts. 3) Stimulating participants to study new problems and methods in synthetic and natural products chemistry. 4) Creating an atmosphere in which the scientific and social interaction among participants will be both stimulating and pleasant.
