Symposium on Frontiers of Chemical Sciences: Research and Education in the Middle East

美国化学学会的John Malin博士由化学部资助，参加“化学科学前沿研讨会：中东的研究和教育”。“会议将于2003年12月6日至11日在马耳他举行。 我们的想法是把美国和美国的关系。S.和中东化学家，以解决研究和教育的挑战，具体到中东地区。 66名与会者，其中50名来自中东国家，16名来自美国。 出席会议的中东国家包括埃及、以色列、伊朗、约旦、科威特、黎巴嫩、巴勒斯坦权力机构、沙特阿拉伯和叙利亚。 七位诺贝尔奖获得者将发表主题演讲，主题包括干旱地区的水化学，文物保护，沙漠天然产物化学和公众对科学的理解。 预计这次会议将增进个人之间以及随后其社区之间更广泛的社会了解。

Dr. John Malin of the American Chemical Society is funded by the Chemistry Division for a "Symposium on Frontiers of Chemical Sciences: Research and Education in the Middle East." The meeting is to be held in Malta, December 6-11, 2003. The idea is to bring together U. S. and Middle Eastern chemists to address research and education challenges specific to the Middle East region. 66 participants of whom 50 are from Middle Eastern countries and 16 from the US will attend the meeting. The Middle Eastern countries represented include Egypt, Israel, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, the Palestinian Authority, Saudi Arabia and Syria. Seven Nobel Prize winners will deliver keynote lectures on topics including the chemistry of water in an arid land, preservation of antiquities, natural products chemistry of the desert and public understanding of science. It is anticipated that the meeting will increase a broader social understanding among the individuals and subsequently their communities.
