Abstract1228024Wachs There is a continued and growing world interest in the role catalysts play in synthesis of petroleum- and renewable-based products for fuels, specialty chemicals, environmental controls and process efficiency. The importance of catalysis is reflected by the fact that 25-30% of all manufactured goods in the U.S. involve at least one catalytic step. Therefore, it is crucial for U.S. scientists to participate in activities that foster collaborations and new ideas in an area that impacts over a quarter of the U.S. economy. This proposal requests partial travel support for 25 U.S. academic participants so they may participate in the 15th International Congress on Catalysis. The 15th International Congress on Catalysis which will be held in Munich, Germany on July 1-6, 2012, will bring together experts from around the world to discuss all the developments on the practical and new understanding in catalysis over the last four years. The scope of the 15th International Congress will include all types of catalysis (homogeneous, heterogeneous and others) related to innovative and current topics, with emphasis on prediction of catalyst performance and characteristics. One of the primary purposes of this travel grant is to provide support for junior faculty to participate, as well as to support women and underrepresented minority candidates. This is an ideal opportunity for these groups to establish international collaborations as well as to understand the cutting edge of catalytic science and engineering.

催化剂在合成石油和可再生燃料产品、特种化学品、环境控制和工艺效率方面的作用，一直受到世界各国的关注，而且这种关注正在不断增长。 催化的重要性反映在美国所有制成品的25-30%至少涉及一个催化步骤。 因此，美国科学家参与促进合作和新想法的活动至关重要，该领域影响美国经济的四分之一以上。 该提案要求为25名美国学术参与者提供部分旅行支持，以便他们参加第15届国际催化大会。 第15届国际催化大会将于2012年7月1日至6日在德国慕尼黑举行，来自世界各地的专家将齐聚一堂，讨论过去四年来催化领域的实践和新认识的所有发展。 第15届国际大会的范围将包括与创新和当前主题相关的所有类型的催化（均相，多相和其他），重点是催化剂性能和特性的预测。 这项旅费赠款的主要目的之一是为初级教师提供参与支持，以及支持妇女和代表性不足的少数民族候选人。 这是一个理想的机会，这些团体建立国际合作，以及了解催化科学和工程的前沿。
