Fifth USA-China Chemical Engineering Conference, Beijing, China, October 13-16, 2009

0924046杨这笔赠款支持参加第五届美国-中国化学工程会议的美国与会者的部分旅费，会议将于10月13-16日在北京举行，中国(网址：http：//http://www.sinouschemeng.com/)，)由美国化学工程师学会和中国化学工业与工程学会共同主办。2009年的会议是在以前的成功会议之后举行的，包括1997年在国家科学基金会的支持下举行的一次会议(CBET-9613827)。这次会议的目的是为美国化学工程师与中国的同行提供一个论坛，就最新进展、交流研究想法和合作机会进行交流。会议的主题是化学工程促进可持续发展，这是ENG/CBET研究的核心议题，涉及新能源和可再生能源、清洁燃料和环境工程等问题。化学工程是能源、资源和环境的关键学科，美国和中国是在这些领域可以领导全球努力的两个国家。通过将这两个国家以及其他国家的科学家和工程师聚集在一起，讨论这些挑战和可能的解决方案，会议将能够解决化学工程师在以可持续的方式开发人类所需的工艺、产品和服务方面发挥的关键作用。从更广泛的意义上说，这次会议将为两国以及其他国家和地区的化学工程研究人员提供一个联系的焦点。它应该为交流信息和发展未来的合作提供一个极好的机会。

0924046YangThis grant supports partial travel expenses of US participants in the Fifth USA-China Chemical Engineering Conference, to be held October 13-16 in Beijing, China (http:// http://www.sinouschemeng.com/), sponsored by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) and its Chinese counterpart, the Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China (CIESC). The 2009 meeting follows previous successful meetings including one that took place with NSF support in 1997 (CBET-9613827). The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for U.S. chemical engineers to meet their counterparts in China about the latest advancements, exchange research ideas, and opportunities for collaboration. Its stated theme is Chemical Engineering for Sustainable Development, a core topic of interest for ENG/CBET research involving issues such as new and renewable energy sources, clean fuels, and environmental engineering.Chemical engineering is a key discipline in energy, resources, and environment, and the USA and China are two countries that can lead worldwide efforts in these areas. By bringing together scientists and engineers from these two countries, as well as other countries, to discuss these challenges and possible solutions, the conference will be able to address the key roles to be played by chemical engineers in developing processes, products and services that are needed by humanity in a sustainable way. In a still broader sense, the conference will provide a focal point of contact for the chemical engineering researchers of the two countries, as well as from other countries and regions. It should provide an excellent opportunity for exchanging information and developing future collaboration.
