0117084MalinThis grant provides support for 12 US and 13 African chemists to participate in a three-day US-Africa workshop on Environmental Chemistry and Water Quality: Exploring Collaborative Opportunities for Research, Applications, and Education, to be held in Dakar, Senegal, July 26-28, 2001. The workshop is being jointly co-organized by Drs. John Malin and Bradley Miller, of the Office of International Activities at the American Chemical Society, and Dr. T. M. Letcher, with the Department of Chemistry at Natal University, Durban, South Africa. The workshop will precede the 8th Annual International Conference on Chemistry in Africa and the 2nd Congress of the African Association for Pure and Applied Chemistry. There will be a total of approximately 30 participants, with expertise in chemical research and remediation methods, analytical techniques, and higher level chemical education. US presenters include investigators from academia, and governmental and industrial institutions. The majority of African participants will be chemists in the early stages of their careers. Having adequate quantities of high-quality water is a critical component for Africa's social and economic development. Within the workshop's overarching theme of environmental chemistry, the main focus will be on the specific advances in the chemical sciences that can be applied to problems of water quality in Africa. Attendees will share information on their current activities and identify mutual areas of research interest for future collaborative projects. They will also explore ways to build partnerships across chemically related sectors associated with pollution prevention and control. This workshop will serve as a catalyst to provide fresh knowledge of environmental chemistry's strengths and weaknesses in the region. The project supports the participation of two junior US faculty members. This workshop is jointly supported by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Chemistry.

0117084Malin 这项赠款为 12 名美国和 13 名非洲化学家提供支持，参加为期三天的美国-非洲环境化学和水质研讨会：探索研究、应用和教育的合作机会，将于 2001 年 7 月 26 日至 28 日在塞内加尔达喀尔举行。该研讨会由 Drs. 共同组织。美国化学会国际活动办公室的约翰·马林 (John Malin) 和布拉德利·米勒 (Bradley Miller) 以及南非德班纳塔尔大学化学系的 T. M. Letcher 博士。 该研讨会将在第八届非洲国际化学年会和第二届非洲纯粹与应用化学协会大会之前举行。共有约 30 名参与者，他们拥有化学研究和修复方法、分析技术和更高水平化学教育方面的专业知识。 美国的演讲者包括来自学术界、政府和工业机构的研究人员。 大多数非洲参与者将是处于职业生涯早期阶段的化学家。拥有充足的优质水是非洲社会经济发展的重要组成部分。 在研讨会的环境化学主题范围内，主要重点将放在可应用于解决非洲水质问题的化学科学的具体进展上。 与会者将分享他们当前活动的信息，并确定未来合作项目的共同研究兴趣领域。 他们还将探索在与污染防治相关的化学相关部门之间建立伙伴关系的方法。 该研讨会将作为催化剂，提供有关该地区环境化学优势和劣势的新知识。 该项目支持两名美国初级教员的参与。本次研讨会由国际部和化学部共同支持。
