CBET-0805847 SoledThis proposal requires support for the 2008 Gordon Conference on Catalysis.该会议将于2008年6月22日至27日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的Colby-Sawyer学院举行，将汇集顶尖专家讨论1）新型催化材料和方法，2）扩散和运输，3）金属和活性位点，4）催化基本原理，5）生物催化和6）当前催化主题。GRC催化会议是最负盛名的催化会议之一，因为它允许来自世界各地的领先研究人员讨论他们在催化方面最新，最令人兴奋的工作。会议的形式鼓励讨论未发表的前沿成果，并在与会者之间进行广泛的正式和非正式沟通。2008年的会议将继续这一传统。会议将涵盖各种主题，包括新的催化材料，理论和实验方法，以提高对动力学和传输现象的理解，以及最先进的纳米级表征探针，以监测活性位点。演讲者代表了来自世界各地的研究领域的领导者。催化是提高生活质量的关键技术，同时减少人类活动对环境的不利影响，并提高我们活动的经济影响。发现新的催化过程和改进现有的催化过程对于确保国家安全也至关重要。的能源供应。将作出特别努力，以支持否则无法参加的年轻科学家：初级教员，博士后研究员和高级研究生。年轻的催化研究人员的参与将为本次会议增添重要价值，并将促进学术和工业问题相结合的领域的当前和未来领导者之间的交流。海报会议为学生提供了一个很好的场所来展示他们的成果，传统上最好的3或4张海报被选为简短的口头报告。会议促进了知名研究人员和年轻科学家之间的互动。它为学生提供了一个与该地区一些世界领先的研究人员会面，交谈和学习的场所。

CBET-0805847SoledThis proposal requests support for the 2008 Gordon Conference on Catalysis. The conference, which will be held at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire, on June 22 to June 27, 2008, will bring together leading experts to discuss 1) novel catalytic materials and approaches, 2) diffusion and transport, 3) metals and active sites, 4) catalytic fundamentals, 5) biocatalysis and 6) current topics in catalysis. The GRC on Catalysis is one of the most prestigious catalysis conferences as it allows leading researchers from around the world to discuss their latest, most exciting work in catalysis. The format of the conference encourages discussion of unpublished cutting edge results and extensive formal and informal communication among the participants. The 2008 conference will continue this tradition. The conference will cover a variety of themes including new catalytic materials, theoretical and experimental approaches to improve understanding of kinetics and transport phenomena, and state of the art nanoscale characterization probes to monitor active sites. The speakers represent the leaders from around the world in their areas of research.Catalysis is a key technology for improving the quality of life while simultaneously reducing the adverse impact of human activities on the environment and enhancing the economic impact of our activities. The discovery of new catalytic processes and the improvement of existing ones are also critically important for securing the nation?s energy supply. A special effort will be made to support young scientists who otherwise would be unable to attend: junior faculty members, postdoctoral fellows and advanced graduate students. Participation by young catalytic researchers will add significant value to this conference and will foster communications among current and future leaders in a field that combines academic and industrial issues. The poster sessions provide an excellent venue for the students to present their results and traditionally the best 3 or 4 posters are selected for short oral presentations. The conference promotes interactions among established researchers and young scientists. It provides a venue for students to meet, talk to and learn from some of the world leading researchers in the area.
