Promoting Student Education at the 12th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference

绿色化学与工程年会（www.GCandE.org）由美国化学会绿色化学研究所（ACS GCI）在美国化学工程师学会、美国政府机构、学术和行业组织的积极参与下，每年组织一次。年度会议的目的是在科学家和工程师之间建立跨学科的桥梁，他们使用化学作为工具来开发可持续发展的突破性进展。现在已经是第12届了，年度会议的重点是与化学和化学工程各个方面的基础研究相关的主题。下一次会议定于2008年6月24日至26日在华盛顿特区举行，届时将举行总统绿色化学挑战奖获奖者的表彰仪式。通过该奖项，ACS GCI将通过会议上的教育活动支持学生教育和参与绿色化学与工程（GC&amp；E），为学生提供参加GC&amp；E会议的旅行奖学金；- GC&amp；E大会上的学生评审海报环节；在2008年6月23日的会议之前，GC&amp；E学生研讨会将免费举办一天。知识价值。绿色化学和工程对我们社会的未来很重要。科学界必须通过教育积极招募最优秀的新人才加入这门科学。第12届gc&&e年度会议的主题是“利用绿色化学与工程推进可持续解决方案”。该项目将包括教育、商业案例和工业应用方面的前沿研究和交叉主题。参加GC&amp；E研讨会和/或会议的学生将有一个独特的机会参与传统大学课程和会议中不常见的主题。教育研讨会讨论和技术会议将在不同领域进行，例如：分析方法和技术，生物基材料和工艺，催化，教育和推广，环境决策和度量，新材料，工艺设计，可再生燃料，溶剂和溶剂系统，以及合成。更广泛的影响。通过设计化学反应和过程，减少甚至消除对人类健康和环境的负面影响，绿色化学和绿色工程方法寻求实现经济繁荣和环境可持续性的双重目标。绿色化学和工程是在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。这个高度跨学科的研讨会和会议将是学生学习展示他们的研究，了解绿色化学和绿色化学工程的最新发展，并接触这些发展发生的更广泛的经济，社会和政治背景的绝佳机会。教育明天的创新者是确保未来福祉的关键部分。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进行对话，促进他们参与专业协会，扩大他们的专业联系网络。互动和协作将产生新的知识，这将有助于定义我们可持续的未来。

CBET-0827467YoungThe annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference (www.GCandE.org) is organized each year by the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute (ACS GCI) with the active involvement of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, U.S. government agencies, and academic and industry organizations. The purpose of the annual conference is to create interdisciplinary bridges among scientists and engineers who use chemistry as a tool to develop breakthrough advances for sustainability. Now in its 12th year, the annual conference focuses on topics that are relevant to fundamental research in all aspects of chemistry and chemical engineering. The next conference is scheduled for 24-26 June 2008 and will be held in Washington, DC, in connection with a ceremony recognizing the winners of the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards. Through this award, ACS GCI will support student education and participation in green chemistry and engineering (GC&E) through educational activities at the conference, providing students with - travel scholarships to participate in the GC&E Conference; - a judged, student poster session at the GC&E Conference; and - instructors for a one-day, free, GC&E Student Workshop preceding the conference, on June 23, 2008. Intellectual Merit. Green chemistry and engineering are important for the future of our society. The science community must actively recruit the best new minds to this science through education. The theme of the 12th annual GC&E conference is 'Using Green Chemistry & Engineering to Advance Sustainable Solutions'. The program will include cutting-edge research and cross-cutting themes in education, making the business case, and industrial applications. Students participating in the GC&E workshop and/or conference will have a unique opportunity to engage in topics not commonly encountered in traditional university courses and conferences. Educational workshop discussions and technical conference talks will be given in diverse areas such as: analytical methods and technologies, bio-based materials and processes, catalysis, education and outreach, environmental decision making and metrics, new materials, process design, renewable fuels, solvents and solvent systems, and synthesis. Broader Impacts. Through the design of chemical reactions and processes that reduce or even eliminate negative impacts on human health and the environment, green chemistry and green engineering approaches seek to achieve the twin goals of economic prosperity and environmental sustainability. Green chemistry and engineering are important tools in preventing pollution at the source and providing solutions to global sustainability challenges. This highly interdisciplinary workshop and meeting will be an excellent opportunity for students to learn 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 in securing the well-being of the future. 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.
