Symposium on 'Chemistry of Advanced Materials - A New Subdiscipline,' Washington, D.C., August 23-28, 1992

特别项目办公室提供部分支助，以帮助支付特邀学术演讲人和会议主席参加“材料化学--新兴分学科”教学专题讨论会的旅费。本次研讨会将于1992年8月23-28日在华盛顿举行的美国化学学会第204届全国会议上发表。为期两天半的研讨会将有来自工业、政府和学术机构的公认专家参加。受邀的演讲者代表了广泛的学科和观点，以及材料化学的不同方面。目标将是教育化学家、材料科学家和政策制定者材料化学：它是什么，为什么重要，以及在新的科学、技术和教育的背景下，它将走向何方。除了向一般科学界通报化学在正在进行的材料科学和技术革命中的作用外，研讨会还将有助于展示这一领域许多化学家的共同兴趣，并将有助于重塑化学不同领域之间以及化学和材料科学之间的界限。对这次研讨会的支持完全符合材料合成和加工倡议的教育、科学和基础设施目标。全国会议的论坛将教育化学界并使其认识到材料化学的重要性和相关性。

Partial support is provided by the Special Projects Office to help cover travel expenses for invited academic speakers and session chairs in connection with their participation in the Pedagogical Symposium, "Materials Chemistry-An Emerging Subdiscipline". This symposium will be presented at the 204th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society on August 23-28, 1992 in Washington DC. The two and one-half day symposium will feature recognized experts from industrial, governmental and academic institutions. The invited speakers represent a wide range of disciplines and perspectives, as well as different facets of materials chemistry. The objective will be to educate chemists, materials scientists and policy makers about materials chemistry: what it is, why it is important, and where it is heading in the context of new science, technology and education. In addition to informing the general scientific community about the role of chemistry in the ongoing revolution in materials science and technology, the symposium will serve to demonstrate the commonality of interest among many chemists in this area and will help reshape the boundaries among the various areas of chemistry and between chemistry and materials science. %%% Support of this symposium is wholly consistent with the educational, scientific and infrastructural goals of the Materials Synthesis and Processing Initiative. The forum of a National Meeting will both educate and focus the chemistry community to the importance and relevance of materials chemistry.
