Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy Workshop, August 2008, Blue Mountain Lake, NY

国家科学基金会化学司分析和表面化学项目的这项支持是为了鼓励研究生和博士后参加扫描电化学显微镜(SECM)研讨会，重点是妇女和少数族裔，并鼓励培训下一代SECM用户和开发人员。这次为期3天的研讨会的目标是将SECM领域的顶尖科学家聚集在一起，以促进深入的讨论，并启动国家和国际合作。这次研讨会将不同于在国家会议(如美国化学学会、PITTCON和电化学学会)上举办的关于SECM的研讨会，因为它将允许有更多的时间进行正式和非正式讨论，特别是高级调查人员与学生或博士后研究员之间的讨论。SECM技术在基础电化学、腐蚀科学、电催化、液-液界面、生物化学、生物学和高分辨率成像等科学领域产生了广泛的影响。该讲习班将促进来自十个国家(比利时、加拿大、法国、德国、以色列、意大利、日本、波兰、联合王国、美国)的科学家之间的互动，这些科学家在SECM方面有广泛和互补的研究兴趣，他们通常没有机会见面。

This support by the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program of the National Science Foundation Chemistry Division is to encourage participation in a Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) Workshop by graduate students and postdoctoral, with an emphasis for women and minorities, and encourage training of next generation SECM users and developers. The goal of this 3-day workshop is to bring leading scientists in the field of SECM together in order to stimulate intensive discussions and initiate national and international collaborations. This workshop will be different from symposia on SECM that have been held at national meetings (e.g. American Chemical Society, Pittcon, and Electrochemical Society) in that it will allow much more time for both formal and informal discussions, especially between senior investigators and students or postdoctoral fellows. SECM technology has had a wide impact in a variety of scientific fields including fundamental electrochemistry, corrosion science, electrocatalysis, liquid-liquid interfaces, biochemistry, biology and high-resolution imaging. This workshop will facilitate interactions between scientists from ten countries (Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Poland, United Kingdom, United States) with broad and complementary research interests in SECM who would normally not have the opportunity to meet.
