U.S.-Baltics/Former Soviet Union/Central European Workshops in Environmental Chemistry and Short-Term U.S. Visits by Early Career Scientists from the Region

INT-9711279马林这三个环境化学联合讲习班将在立陶宛帕兰加(1997年6月)、俄罗斯圣彼得堡(1998年5月)和捷克共和国(1999年夏季)举行，美国化学学会的美国研究人员将与立陶宛、新独立国家研究所和捷克共和国的同行一起举行。在每个研讨会上，一个由大约10名美国环境化学科学家组成的选定小组将与15名当地的科学同行进行磋商，为解决该地区独特的环境问题的科学研究制定计划和建议。此外，每年，美国化学学会将从对应组织确定的提名者中挑选三名职业生涯早期的科学家。每个参与者将对美国的一个研究实验室进行为期至少两个月的短期访问。该项目将使美国化学科学家有机会考虑波罗的海国家、NIS和中欧独特地区的环境问题。预计与会者将在美国实验室和波罗的海/NIS/中欧地区一些“最优秀和最聪明”的早期化学学会之间开展环境化学方面的长期合作和联合研究。此外，该计划还应加强美国与该地区非政府专业协会的关系。这些研讨会将导致美国研究人员与立陶宛、俄罗斯和捷克同行在量子光学领域开展许多新的合作研究工作。它们实现了将美国和这些国家的顶尖专家聚集在一起，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同利益和能力强的领域结合互补努力和能力的计划目标。*？？

INT-9711279 Malin These three joint workshops in environmental chemistry, in which U.S. researchers from the American Chemical Society will join with their counterparts in Lithuania, the Newly Independent States NIS , and the Czech Republic, will take place in Palanga, Lithuania (June 1997), St. Petersburg, Russia (May 1998), and Prague, the Czech Republic (Summer 1999). At each workshop a selected group of around ten U.S. environmental chemical scientists will confer with fifteen local scientific counterparts to develop plans and recommendations for scientific research addressing the unique environmental problems of the region. Also, for each year, the American Chemical Society will select three early-career scientists from among nominees identified by the counterpart organizations. Each of the participants will make a short-term visit of at least two months' duration to a research laboratory in the U.S. The project will give U.S. chemical scientists an opportunity to consider environmental problems in unique regions of the Baltics, the NIS, and central Europe. The participants can be expected to develop long-term cooperation and joint research in environmental chemistry between U.S. laboratories and some of the "best and brightest" early-career chemical societies in the Baltics/NIS/central European region. In addition, the program should strengthen U.S. relationships with the non-governmental professional societies of the region. These workshops should result in many new collaborative research efforts in quantum optics between U.S. researchers and their Lithuanian, Russian, and Czech counterparts. They fulfill the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and these countries to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit. *** ??
