Joint U.S. - Russia Conference on Catalytic Combustion

这笔赠款将用于支持大约10名来自学术界和研究机构的美国科学家出席1992年9月在切尔诺戈洛夫卡（前苏联）举行的为期四天的催化燃烧会议。这次会议的主要目的是分享美国和俄罗斯在这个问题上的想法，俄罗斯在这个问题上取得了许多重大进展。俄罗斯主办方将支付参与者的所有当地费用，美国国家科学基金会的资助将用于帮助支付美国参与者的旅费。这次讲习班将提供一个机会，建立富有成效的合作，可能对美国未来在催化燃烧领域的研究产生重大影响，催化燃烧是能源利用和污染控制方面的一个重要技术过程。与俄罗斯科学家直接接触，他们在这一领域取得了相当大的成就，预计将通过提供对催化燃烧过程的独特见解，对振兴美国在催化燃烧领域的研究和发展产生有益影响。

This grant will be used to support attendance of approximately ten US scientists from academia and research institutes at a four day conference on Catalytic Combustion at Chernogolovka (former Soviet Union) in September, 1992. The main purpose of this conference is the sharing of US and Russian ideas on this topic, in which the Russians have made numerous significant advances. The Russian hosts will pay all local expenses for the participants, with the NSF support being used to help defray travel expenses of the US participants. This workshop will provide an opportunity for establishment of productive collaborations with likely significant impact on future US research in the area of catalytic combustion, an important technological process as regards energy utilization and pollution control. Direct contact with Russian scientists, who have considerable achievements in this area, is anticipated to have beneficial effects in revitalizing US research and development in the field of catalytic combustion via provision of unique insights into this process.
