International Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering [ISCRE 18]

化学反应工程（CRE）是一个研究具有工程意义的化学反应系统的领域。它导致在接近各种系统（化学，生物化学，生物，材料，环境，电化学），其中需要工程的反应，以产生有价值的产品有用的一般方法。 CRE在现有技术和新技术的开发中都是必要的。 除了在石油、石化和化学工业中发挥既定的关键作用外，还需要加快新型特种和商品化学品、材料和生物技术产品的商业化。例如，CRE在汽车和固定应用的燃料电池开发以及药物的设计和发现方面发挥着重要作用。 也许国际CRE科学界最重要的活动是两年一度的ISCRE会议（国际化学反应工程研讨会）。 这些会议为期三天，汇集了反应工程领域的杰出国际研究人员，杰出的工业从业者，沿着这个多方面领域的新研究人员和学生。 在这些会议上，CRE的各个子学科的最新技术得到及时审查，并讨论新的研究计划。 更广泛的影响ISCRE 18参与者将受益于领先专家的最先进的评论和演讲，通过交流前沿研究课题的最新进展，并通过与CRE学科的同行辩论有争议的观点。 会议将为来自世界各国的工业和学术研究人员之间的互动与合作提供机会。 提供旅费和登记补贴预计将吸引许多研究生，包括妇女和少数民族，参加他们本来可能无法参加的会议。 学生和其他年轻研究人员将有机会相互交流，并与该领域经验丰富的研究人员进行互动，这将对他们的专业发展产生积极影响。

Intellectual Merit Chemical reaction engineering (CRE) is the field that deals with chemically reacting systems of engineering significance. It results in a general methodology useful in approaching a variety of systems (chemical, biochemical, biological, materials, environmental, electrochemical) where engineering of reactions is needed to produce products of value. CRE is required in the development of both existing and newer technologies. In addition to its established critical role in the petroleum, petrochemical and chemical industries, it is necessary to speed up commercialization of new specialty and commodity chemicals, materials and biotechnology products. For example, CRE is playing a major role in the development of fuel cells for automobiles and stationary applications, and in the design and discovery of pharmaceutical drugs. Perhaps the most important events for the international CRE scientific community are the biennial ISCRE conferences (International Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering). These conferences bring together, for three days, distinguished international researchers in reaction engineering, prominent industrial practitioners, along with new researchers and students of this multifaceted field. In these conferences, the state-of-the-art of various sub-disciplines of CRE is reviewed in a timely manner, and new research initiatives are discussed. Broader Impact The ISCRE 18 participants will benefit from state-of-the-art reviews and presentations by leading experts, by exchanging the latest advances on frontier research subjects, and by debating controversial points with their peers in the CRE discipline. The meeting will provide an opportunity for interaction and cooperation among industrial and academic researchers, from various countries around the world. The award of travel funds and registration subsidy are expected to attract many graduate students, including women and minority, to the meeting that they may otherwise be unable to attend. The students and other young researchers will have an opportunity to interact with each other and with experienced researchers in the field, which will positively influence their professional development.
