Second Joint USA/China Chemical Engineering Conference in Beijing, China - May 19-22, 1997

ccs -9613827 YANG本基金将为在1997年5月29日在中国北京举行的第二届美中联合化学工程会议上发表论文的美国作者和美国全体讲师提供旅费。第一次联席会议于1982年在北京举行。这是一次非常成功的会议，成为美国代表团向中国化学工程“打开大门”的会议。第二次联席会议将成为美国寻求合作机会的理想论坛。与第一届会议一样，美国化学工业学会（AIChE）和中国化学工业与工程学会（CIESC）将作为会议的主办单位。此外，德国、日本和韩国的相应化学工程学会将作为共同赞助者加入，从而扩大会议的范围和影响。第二届会议将是化学工程领域规模最大的正式国际会议。提议的预算为25,000美元，将为20-25名美国论文作者和会议全体会议特邀讲师提供部分旅费补助。旅行奖将根据以下因素进行评选：(1)论文的科学或技术价值；(2)是否有其他差旅资金来源；（三）与年龄、岗位相关的专业资格；(4)机构和地域分布。所有的裁决将完全按照1964年的民权法案进行。NSF将遵循美国航空公司的旅行政策。＊＊＊

CTS-9613827 YANG This grant will provide funds for travel grant awards to U.S. authors of papers accepted for presentation and U.S. plenary lecturers at the Second Joint USA/China Chemical Engineering Conference to be held in Beijing, China on May 29, 1997. The First Joint Conference was held in 1982, also in Beijing. This was a highly successful conference that served as a "door-opening" meeting to Chinese chemical engineering by the U.S. delegation. The Second Joint Conference will serve as an ideal forum for U.S. opportunities for cooperation. As in the First Conference, the AIChE and its Chinese counterpart, Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China (CIESC), will be sponsors of the Conference. In addition, the counterpart chemical engineering societies of Germany, Japan and Korea will join as co-sponsors, thus expanding the scope and impact of the Conference. The Second Conference will be the largest formal international conference in Chemical Engineering. The proposed budget of $25,000 will provide for 20-25 partial travel grant awards to U.S. authors of papers and invited plenary lecturers at the Conference. Travel awards will be made based on the following considerations: (1) scientific or technological merit of the paper; (2) availability of other sources of travel funding; (3) professional qualifications relative to age and position; (4) institutional and geographical distribution. All awards will be made in full compliance with the Civil Rights Acts of 1964. NSF travel policies with respect to U.S. air carriers will be followed. ***
