NSF Workshop: Chemistry and Sustainability

该研讨会奖支持2005年11月关于化学和可持续性的研讨会。研讨会有两个目标：（1）从数学和物理科学的角度阐述一套可持续发展的科学驱动因素;（2）考虑解决这些研究机会所需的资源。杰弗里·科茨（康奈尔大学）和石楠艾伦（俄亥俄州州立大学）是研讨会的领导者。与会者主要来自美国学术机构，但也将有来自美国化学工业、国家实验室和外国大学的代表参加。 研讨会定于2005年11月2日至4日在华盛顿里奇兰西北太平洋实验室的环境分子科学实验室举行。将从分子科学家的角度制定和阐述构成可持续性（环境、空气、水、能源和制造业）的科学驱动因素。参与者还将熟悉环境分子科学实验室的研究人员和独特的用户设施。一份摘要报告和一个互动网站将向研究界通报讲习班的讨论情况。

This workshop award supports a November 2005 workshop on Chemistry and Sustainability. The workshop has two objectives: (1) articulate a set of science drivers for Sustainability, from a Mathematical and Physical Sciences perspective; and (2) consider resources necessary to address these research opportunities. Geoffrey Coates (Cornell University) and Heather Allen (Ohio State University) are the workshop leaders. The diverse group of participants is drawn primarily from U.S. academic institutions, but selected representatives from the U.S. chemical industry, national labs and foreign universities will also participate. The workshop is scheduled for November 2-4, 2005 at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory at Pacific Northwest Laboratory in Richland Washington.The science drivers that frame sustainability (environment, air, water, energy and manufacturing) from the perspective of molecular scientists will be developed and articulated. The participants will also become familiar with the researchers and unique user facilities at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory. A summary report and interactive website will communicate the workshop discussions to the research community.
