9th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference: Student Scholarships

摘要标题：第九届年度绿色化学与工程会议：学生奖学金建议编号：CTS-0533126主要调查者：凯瑟琳·E·家长机构：美国化学学会美国化学学会过去几年来，美国化学学会与NSF、EPA和其他联邦资助机构合作，支持一年一度的绿色化学与工程会议。本次会议的主题集中在以既可行又经济可行的方式减少或消除有害物质的使用和产生的化学工艺和产品的设计、开发和实施。绿色化学和工程是从源头上防止污染和为长期的全球挑战提供解决方案的重要工具。由NSF资助的基金将为本科生和研究生提供奖学金，参加2005年6月20日至24日在华盛顿特区华盛顿酒店举行的第二届绿色与可持续化学会议和第九届绿色化学与工程年会的联合会议。会议的主题是“衡量绿色进展：迎接全球挑战的机遇”。学生将有机会参与传统化学课程和会议中不常见的主题。技术讲座将涉及替代溶剂、催化、可再生资源和良性合成与加工等领域。这个高度跨学科的会议将是一个极好的机会，让学生展示他们的研究成果，学习绿色化学和化学工程的最新发展，并将自己暴露在发生这些发展的更广泛的经济、社会和政治背景中。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，促进他们对专业协会的参与，并扩大他们的专业联系网络。来自美国各地的不同地理位置的学生获得了通过NSF资助参加这些会议的奖学金。几乎所有的学生都参与了口头或海报演示。这次会议的国际层面将证明在绿色化学和工程方面有更广阔的视角，对学生教育和发展的影响应该是非常重大的。

AbstractProposal Title: 9th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference: Student ScholarshipsProposal Number: CTS-0533126Principal Investigator: Kathryn E. ParentInstitution: American Chemical Society The American Chemical Society has partnered over the past several years with NSF, EPA, and other federal funding agencies to support an annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference. The topic of this meeting focuses on the design, development, and implementation of chemical processes and products that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances in a way that is both feasible and economically viable. Green chemistry and engineering are important tools in preventing pollution at the source and in providing solutions to long-term global challenges.Funding from NSF will provide scholarships for undergraduate and graduate student participation in the Joint Meeting of the Second Conference on Green and Sustainable Chemistry and the Ninth Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference, June 20-24, 2005, at the Hotel Washington in Washington, DC. The theme of the meeting is "Taking Measure of Green Progress: Opportunities to Meet Global Challenges". Students will have the opportunity to engage in topics not commonly encountered in traditional chemistry courses and conferences. Technical talks will be given in such areas as alternative solvents, catalysis, renewable resources, and benign synthesis and processing. This highly interdisciplinary meeting will be an excellent opportunity for students to present their research, learn the latest developments in green chemistry and chemical engineering, and expose themselves to the broader economic, social and political context in which these developments occur. Students will have an excellent opportunity to learn about the newest research developments in their areas, dialog with other academic, industrial, and governmental researchers, advance their participation in professional societies, and expand their network of professional contacts.A diverse group of students from geographical locations across the United States has received scholarships through NSF funding to attend these meetings. Nearly all students have been involved in oral or poster presentations. The international aspect of this meeting will prove a much broader perspective on green chemistry and engineering, and the impact on student education and development should be very significant.
