6th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference: Student Scholarships

第六届绿色化学与工程年会该奖项部分资助了15名研究生、博士后研究员和年轻教员参加第六届绿色化学与工程年会的费用，该会议将于2002年6月25日至27日在华盛顿特区的乔治敦大学会议中心举行。本次会议的副标题是“通过经济和环境创新应对全球挑战”。与以前的会议一样，这次会议是围绕总统绿色化学挑战奖组织的，旨在加快在所有工业部门采用更清洁的工艺。除了获奖者的演讲外，还提供了相关主题的研究论文和海报。今年的会议重点关注科学技术在解决气候变化、能源和食品生产、水资源和资源枯竭以及减少环境中的有毒物质等环境问题上的作用。NSF将支持扩大青年科学家和工程学的接触和参与，从而促进这一重要环境领域的教育和研究活动。

6th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering ConferenceThis award supports partially the expenses for participation by 15 graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and young faculty in Sixth Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference, which will be held at the Georgetown University Conference Center in Washington, DC, on June 25-27, 2002. The subtitle of this conference is " Meeting Global Challenges Through Economic and Environmental Innovations." Like its predecessor conferences, this meeting is organized around the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards and is intended to accelerate the adoption of cleaner processes in all sectors of industry. In addition to presentation by award winners, research papers and posters on relevant topics are given. This year's conference is focusing on the role of science and technology in addressing such environmental issues as climate change, energy and food production, water and resource depletion, and the reduction of toxics in the environment.The NSF support is given to expand exposure and participation of young scientists and engineering and thus to contribute to education and expansion of research activities in this important environmental area.
