建议编号：CBET-0707686主要调查者：凯瑟琳家长机构：绿色化学研究所(美国化学协会)第11届年度绿色化学与工程会议：学生奖学金NSF将为本科生、研究生和博士后提供奖学金，以参加2007年6月25日至28日在华盛顿首都希尔顿举行的第11届年度绿色化学与工程会议。会议的主题是“从小步到大跃进，突破创新，实现可持续发展”。该计划将包括绿色化学和绿色工程方面的尖端研究，以及教育、商业案例和工业应用方面的交叉主题。会议将围绕突破性创新的主题，在以下领域开展绿色化学和绿色工程研究：能量。材料。系统。建设社区智慧价值。与绿色化学相关的基础科学和工程进展的主题将由教师和学生参与者介绍。学生将有机会参与传统化学课程和会议中不常见的主题。技术讲座将在催化、工艺设计、生物材料、可再生原料、可持续能源系统、替代溶剂、制药工业的创新、水净化技术、毒理学、纳米技术、替代合成和更安全的化学品设计等领域进行。绿色化学和工程是从源头上防止污染和为全球可持续发展挑战提供解决方案的重要工具。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，学习绿色化学和绿色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。培养未来的创新者是大会使命的关键部分。学生将有极好的机会了解他们所在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。互动和协作将产生新的知识，有助于定义我们可持续的未来。

Proposal Number: CBET - 0707686Principal Investigator: Kathryn Parent Institution: Green Chemistry Institute (American Chemical Society)11th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference: Student ScholarshipsFunding from NSF will provide scholarships for undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students to participate in the 11th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference, June 25-28, 2007, at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC. The theme of the meeting is "From Small Steps to Giant Leaps Breakthrough Innovations for Sustainability". The program will include cutting-edge research in green chemistry and green engineering, and cross-cutting themes in education, making the business case, and industrial applications. Centered on the theme of breakthrough innovation, the conference will feature green chemistry and green engineering research in the following areas:. Energy. Materials. Systems. Building the CommunityIntellectual Merit. Topics involving fundamental scientific and engineering advances related to green chemistry will be presented by faculty and student participants. 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 catalysis, process design, bio-based materials, renewable feedstocks, sustainable energy systems, alternative solvents, innovations in the pharmaceutical industry, water purification technologies, toxicology, nanotechnology, alternative synthesis, and design of safer chemicals.Broader Impacts. Green chemistry and engineering are important tools in preventing pollution at the source and providing solutions to global sustainability challenges. This highly interdisciplinary meeting will be an excellent opportunity for students to present their research, learn the latest developments in green chemistry and green chemical engineering, and expose themselves to the broader economic, social and political context in which these developments occur. Educating the innovators of tomorrow is a crucial part of the conference mission. 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. Interaction and collaboration will generate new knowledge that will help to define our sustainable future.
