Proposal Title: Support for the 17th North American Catalysis Society MeetingProposal Number: CTS-0107933Principal Investigator: Israel WachsInstitution: Lehigh UniversityThe 17th North American Meeting of the Catalysis Society will be held June 3-8 in Toronto, Canada. These meetings of the Catalysis Society are held biannually. Symposium topics include recent advances in many areas of catalysis including environmental catalysis, natural gas conversion, catalyst preparation, catalyst deactivation, novel catalytic processes, photocatalysis, selective oxidations and hydrogenations, polymerization and homogeneous catalysis, zeolites, heterogeneous organic synthesis, and pharmaceutical and fine chemical production. The objective of this proposal is to defray costs of meeting attendance, especially for graduate students and young investigators. With co-funding from other sources, support for about 80 graduate students will be provided for meeting attendance. Special emphasis will be placed on bringing young researchers to the meeting.
