Fostering US-International Collaborative Partnerships in Chemistry

国际理论与应用化学联合会（IUPAC）将与美国化学学会（ACS）和美国国家科学院（NAS）合作，在2008年和2009年举行ACS国家会议的同时召开两次圆桌会议。会议将促进持续的多国对话，以建立有效的方案，为化学领域的国际合作研究项目提供资金;并将加深美国化学科学界，ACS，这些会议将促进国际研究界之间进一步开展富有成效的合作活动，并有助于推动建立更有效的机制国际化学合作研究。这些会议将对社区产生广泛和持久的利益。

In partnership with the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) will convene two roundtable meetings in conjunction with the ACS National Meetings in 2008 and 2009. The meetings will promote continued, multinational dialogue on establishing effective programs for funding international collaborative research projects in chemistry; and will also deepen the engagement between the U.S. chemical sciences community, the ACS, and the international Union.These meetings will stimulate the further development of productive collaborative activities between international research communities and help advance the development of more effective mechanisms for international collaborative research in chemistry. The meetings will be of widespread and enduring benefit to the community.
