3rd International Zeolite Membrane Meeting; July 25-28, 2004; Breckenridge, OH

提案标题：第三届国际膜会议首席研究员理查德·诺布尔研究所：科罗拉多大学第三届国际沸石膜会议将于2004年7月25日至28日在科罗拉多州布雷肯里奇的Great Divide Lodge举行。这笔资金将用于旅费和注册费，特别是研究生、博士后研究助理和新教师，以帮助他们参加这次会议。这次会议的学术价值是将一个由材料科学家、化学家和化学工程师组成的国际小组聚集在一起。这次会议的发言者将包括许多在这一领域的“尖端”工作的人。该计划将针对提供纳米级分离能力和扩展的温度和化学环境操作条件的新的和/或改进的膜材料。会议议题将涵盖从基础知识到重要应用的各个领域。会议主题的选择是为了吸引对纳米多孔膜材料有广泛兴趣的研究人员。这次会议的更广泛影响是双重的。向具有广泛兴趣的研究人员传播这一迅速扩大的领域的知识，应该会为新的和有前途的研究努力提供智力刺激。此外，研究人员之间的互动应该促进跨学科的协作努力，这将推动该领域朝着新的方向发展。

Proposal Title: Third International Membrane MeetingPrincipal Investigator: Richard NobleInstitution: University of ColoradoThe 3rd International Zeolite Membrane Meeting will take place at the Great Divide Lodge in Breckenridge, CO from July 25th to 28th, 2004. The funding will be used for travel and registration expenses especially for graduate students, post-doctoral research associates and new faculty to assist them to participate in this meeting. The intellectual merit of this meeting is to bring together an international group of material scientists, chemists, and chemical engineers. The speakers for the meeting will include many of those working in the "cutting edge" of this field. The program will be directed to new and/or modified membrane materials that provide nanoscale separation abilities and expanded temperature and chemical environment operating conditions. The meeting topics will span the gamut from fundamentals through important applications. The session topics have been chosen to attract researchers with a wide range of interests that relate to nanoporous membrane materials. The broader impact of this meeting is two-fold. The dissemination of knowledge in this rapidly expanding field to researchers with a wide range of interests should provide intellectual stimulation for new and promising research thrusts. Also, the interactions between researchers should facilitate collaborative interdisciplinary efforts that will move the field in novel directions.
