US-India Workshop: Recent Advances in Organometallic Catalysis and Olefin Polymerization, Pondicherry, India, December 2003

该奖项为一个由10名美国科学家组成的代表团参加2003年12月在印度本迪切里举行的美国-印度研讨会：金属有机催化和烯烃聚合的最新进展提供差旅支持。马萨诸塞大学的Edward B.Coughlin教授和印度理工学院的G.Sundararajan教授是研讨会的组织者，该学科因在有机和聚合物合成中的应用而在研究和开发中占据特殊地位。印度在这一领域有许多活跃的研究人员，但有机金属化学的多学科方面尚未得到评估。研讨会将汇聚金属有机催化和烯烃聚合领域的院士和工业科学家，并将确定未来合作的具体研究领域，如有机金属催化剂的合成、烯烃聚合反应中的单位催化剂以及在催化有机合成领域的应用。有机金属化学是印度政府科技部(DST)确定的一个重要领域。虽然在印度，参与这一研究领域的化学家的数量正在增加，但只有少数几个团体参与了使用单点催化剂的烯烃聚合研究。印度工业界尚未意识到这项研究的成果。这次研讨会将突出对这一领域积极研究的要求。会议记录将以CD格式出版，然后作为纪念讲习班的特刊出版。DST共同支持这项活动。该奖项为参加将于2003年12月在印度庞迪切里举行的美国-印度研讨会：金属有机催化和烯烃聚合的最新进展的10名美国与会者提供旅费。马德拉斯印度理工学院的E.Bryan Coughlin教授和G.Sundararajan教授是关于催化化学和聚合物合成领域这一重要主题的研讨会的组织者。美国代表是一支实力雄厚的团队，以学术界和工业界之间的研究相关互动而闻名，他们将确保研讨会的成功。印度与会者代表了学术界、工业界和政府的广泛利益。美国和印度科学家在这次研讨会上的组成可能会启动新的合作活动。美国PI是一位非常有前途的年轻调查员，拥有丰富的行业经验和值得称赞的外展活动；美国代表团包括年轻的科学家和代表性不足的团体的代表。这次研讨会将得到印度政府科学与技术部(DST)的支持。

0242938CoughlinThis award provides travel support for a delegation of ten US scientists to participate in the US-India Workshop: Recent Advances in Organometallic Catalysis and Olefin Polymerization, Pondicherry, India, December 2003. Professors Edward B. Coughlin, University of Massachusetts, and G. Sundararajan, Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai are the organizers of the workshop in a discipline that has come to hold a special position in research and development by virtue of the applications in organic and polymer syntheses. India has many active researchers in the field, but the multi-disciplinary aspects of organometallic chemistry have not been evaluated. The workshop will unite academicians and industrial scientists in the field of organometallic catalysis and olefin polymerization, and will identify specific research areas for future collaboration such as the synthesis of organometallic catalysts, single-site catalysts in the olefin polymerization reactions, and applications in the field of catalytic organic synthesis. Organometallic chemistry is a thrust area identified by the Government of India Department of Science and Technology (DST). While in India the number of chemists involved in this research area is growing, only a handful of groups are involved in research on olefin polymerization using single-site catalysts. The fruits of this research are not yet realized by Indian industry. This workshop will bring to focus the requirement for active research in this area. The proceedings will be brought out in CD format and then published as a special issue to commemorate the workshop. The DST jointly supports this activity. This award provides travel funds for ten American participants at the US-India Workshop: Recent Advances in Organometallic Catalysis and Olefin Polymerization, to be held in Pondicherry, India on December 2003. Professors E. Bryan Coughlin, University of Massachusetts Amherst and G. Sundararajan, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras are the organizers of the workshop on this important topic in the area of catalysis chemistry and polymer synthesis. The US delegates are a high-powered team recognized for research related interactions between academia and industry and they will ensure the success of the workshop. The Indian participants represent a broad range of interests from academia, industry, and government. The composition of US and Indian scientists at this workshop is likely to initiate new collaborative activities. The US PI is a very promising young investigator with significant industrial experience and commendable outreach activities; the US delegation includes younger scientists and representatives of underrepresented groups. This workshop will be supported by the Government of India's Department of Science & Technology (DST).
