Femtochemistry VII Conference - Washington DC

摘要-0521796宾夕法尼亚州立大学飞秒化学领域正在产生重大的科学和技术影响，它使人们能够在各种类型的反应中获得新的见解，并提供新的仪器，使研究和分析气相中的物质，如颗粒物和凝聚态物质成为可能。该领域的发展甚至在探测化学和生物材料的先进领域也具有价值。“Femtochemistry”已成为深入讨论所有这些主题的主要会议系列，下一个将涉及从化学到生物学的问题。第七届会议将于2005年7月17日至22日在华盛顿，华盛顿特区举行，这是在美国举行的第一届会议。从所附的课程表中可以看出，将讨论与许多科学技术领域直接相关的广泛的主题。这些包括从纳米材料到表面和界面，生物物理学和燃烧科学。在预计约250人的出席人数中，我们预计有20至25名学生。年轻人是该领域的未来，本次会议将为他们提供一个机会，了解新兴的研究领域，并与该领域的大多数杰出研究人员进行互动。受邀与会者中有五位是在该领域发挥榜样作用的妇女;我们将奋进吸引少数民族和妇女以及年轻科学家参加，并通过海报展示来展示他们的发现。这是一个自筹资金的会议，与社会或其他资金来源无关。我们预计，会议将花费约277 000美元，只有约107 000美元来自注册费。因此，我们必须筹集大约170，000美元的额外资金来资助这次会议。正如预算中所详细说明的那样，我们要求20，000美元，以帮助使这次Femtochemistry VII会议取得巨大成功，并使我们能够部分支持新兴和杰出的受邀演讲者的费用。参加Femtochemistry VII将提供一个机会，展示他们的最新发现，包括科学和技术的发展，并讨论该领域在美国和其他国家的发展方向。会议议程的细节，所要求的财政支持的理由，以及会议的预计预算在本文件中提供。请访问我们的网站http://www.chem.psu.edu/conferences/femto7/了解更多有关会议的详细信息。

ABSTRACT - 0521796Pennsylvania State University The field of femtosecond chemistry is having a major scientific and technological impact, allowing new insights to be gained in reactions of widely varying types, and providing new instrumentation that enables the study and analysis of species in the gas phase, as particulates, and ones in the condensed state. Developments in the field are even of value in advanced areas of the detection of chemical and biological materials."Femtochemistry" has become a major conference series that discusses all of these topics in depth, and the next one will deal with issues ranging from chemistry to biology. The seventh conference will be held in Washington, D.C. during the period July 17-22, 2005 and is the first of the series to be held in the United States.Femtochemistry VII is a conference series that had it's beginnings in 1993 inBerlin and has developed to be a major one devoted to this subject. As seen from the attached program, a wide range of subjects will be discussed which have direct relevance to many areas of science and technology. These include ones ranging from nanoscale materials to surface and interfaces, biophysics and combustion science. Among an expected attendance of about 250, we anticipate 20 to 25 students. Young people are the future of the field and this conference will provide them with an opportunity to learn about emerging areas of research and to interact with most of the prominent researchers in the field. Five of the invited participants are women who serve as role models in the field; we will endeavor to attract minorities and women, as well as young scientists, to attend and present their findings through poster presentations. This is a self funded conference with no connection to a society or other sources of funding. We project that the conference will cost approximately $277,000 to conduct, with only about $107,000 coming from registration fees. Hence we must raise approximately $170,000 additional monies to finance this meeting.As detailed in the budget, we are requesting $20,000 to help make thisFemtochemistry VII meeting a great success and allow us to partially support the expenses of both emerging and prominent invited speakers. Attending Femtochemistry VII will provide an opportunity to present their latest findings including both scientific and technological developments and to discuss directions in which this field is evolving in the US and in other countries.Details of the meeting agenda, justification for the requested financial support, as well as the projected budget for the conference are provided in this document.
