Support of the International Symposium on Relations Between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis (ISHHC)

均相催化和多相催化之间的关系国际研讨会是世界各地科学家探索多相和均相催化科学与工程之间基本联系的一个重要论坛。西北大学将于2003年7月20日至25日主办研讨会，这是十多年来第一次在美国举办研讨会。会议将有全体演讲者、来自行业、政府和学术界的专家小组成员，以及纸质/海报演示。会议的新主题包括生物和超分子催化，催化作为新材料的途径，纳米科学和催化的交叉，绿色化学，以及新兴的物理化学或理论技术。三个特别会议将讨论新的重点，涉及“纳米技术和催化”、“绿色化学中的催化问题”和“催化方面的研究生研究和教育”方面的国际合作。预计将有来自学术界、工业界和政府实验室的200多人参加。参加研讨会的研究生和博士后将得到美国国家科学基金会的资助。这将大大增加这些杰出的年轻研究人员的教育经验，特别是在美国地点就读是可行的。研讨会具有很强的国际性，将促进学生对世界催化研究的欣赏。学生将有极好的机会了解各自领域的最新研究进展，与其他学术、工业和政府研究人员对话，并促进他们对专业社会的参与。

The International Symposium on the Relations between Homgeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis is a key forum for scientists throughout the world to explore the fundamental connections between heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic science and engineering. Northwestern University will host the symposium on July 20-25, 2003, which is the first time for a US location in over a decade. The conference will feature plenary speakers, expert panelists from industry, government, and academia, and paper/poster presentations. New topics for the conference include bio-and supra-molecular catalysis, catalysis as a route to new materials, the intersections between nanoscience and catalysis, green chemistry, and emerging physicochemical or theoretical techniques. Three specific sessions will address new emphases involving international collaboration in "Nanotechnology and Catalysis", "Catalytic Issues in Green Chemistry", and "Graduate Research and Education in Catalysis." Over 200 attendees are expected from academia, industry, and government laboratories. Graduate and postdoctoral students will receive assistance from NSF funding to attend the symposium. This will significantly increase the educational experience of these outstanding young researchers, especially since attendance at the US location is feasible. The strong international aspects of the symposium will advance the student's appreciation of worldwide research in catalysis. Students will have an excellent opportunity to learn about the newest research developments in their areas, dialog with other academic, industrial, governmental researchers, and advance their participation in professional societies.
