Seventh International Conference on Fundamentals of Adsorption

国际旅游奖：第七届国际吸附基础会议该奖项部分支持30名美国研究人员参加将于2001年5月20日至25日在日本长崎举行的第七届国际吸附基础会议（FOA7）。本次会议为该领域的国际研究人员提供了一个独特的对话论坛。它将汇集来自35个国家的约300名研究人员。学术界和工业界的研究人员将参加与气体分离过程、气体储存、节能制冷和环境保护有关的吸附会议。吸附是许多分离和催化过程以及自然界中的关键现象，目前的研究活动是动态的，受到材料合成，分子建模和特定应用的新发展的刺激。许多重要的新工作都是在国外完成的，因此美国研究人员与外国同行保持联系和合作至关重要。这次会议为促进这种接触提供了机会。

International Travel Award: The 7th Internatonal Conference on Fundmentals of AdsorptionThis award supports partially the participation by 30 American researchers in the 7th International Conference on Fundamentals of Adsorption (FOA7) to be held in Nagasaki, Japan, 20-25 May 2001. This conference provides a unique forum for dialog among international researchers in the field. It will bring together about 300 researchers from 35 countries. Both academic and industrial researchers will participate in sessions on adsorption relating to gas separation processes, gas storage, energy-efficient refrigeration, and environmental protection.Adsorption is a key phenomenon in many separation and catalytic processes as well as in nature, and the current research activity is dynamic, stimulated by new developments in materials synthesis, molecular modeling, and specific applications. Much of the important new work is being done abroad, so it is vital that U.S. researchers maintain contact and collaboration with their foreign counterparts. This conference provides an opportunity to promote such contact.
