Dr. Cynthia M. Friend of Harvard University is supported by the Chemical Catalysis Program in the Division of Chemistry to chair a workshop on defining critical directions for the future of chemical catalysis. The workshop will be co-chaired with Dr. Hector D. Abruna of Cornell University and Dr. Melanie S. Sanford of the University of Michigan. The workshop will draw together a diverse group of established and emerging leaders in catalysis in order to articulate the grand challenges and future directions in this area of research. The workshop will address the role of catalysis in advancing the national need for sustainability. Chemical catalysis plays a central role in energy, such as in the production of renewable fuels, manufacturing, such as in the synthesis of chemical, pharmaceuticals and materials, and environmental sustainability, such as in carbon dioxide conversion, pollution control and remediation. The workshop proceedings and conclusions will be disseminated to the scientific community through a website and a workshop report.

Cynthia M.哈佛大学的朋友得到化学系化学催化项目的支持，主持一个关于确定化学催化未来关键方向的研讨会。 该研讨会将与Hector D博士共同主持。康奈尔大学的Abruna和Melanie S.密歇根大学的桑福德说。 该研讨会将吸引一个不同的群体，建立和新兴的领导人在催化，以阐明重大挑战和未来的方向，在这一研究领域。 讲习班将讨论催化剂在促进国家可持续性需要方面的作用。 化学催化在能源（如可再生燃料的生产）、制造（如化学品、药物和材料的合成）和环境可持续性（如二氧化碳转化、污染控制和补救）中发挥着核心作用。 研讨会的会议记录和结论将通过一个网站和一份研讨会报告向科学界传播。
