2013 Chemical Reactions at Surfaces GRC, Les Diablerets, Switzerland, April 28 ? May 3, 2013

1304053表面的化学反应是催化、涂层、润滑、固态器件和其他技术中的关键过程，这些技术对于提高生活质量同时减少人类活动对环境的不利影响至关重要。新的表面处理方法的发现和开发以及现有表面处理方法的改进可以为确保国家的能源供应做出重要贡献。该提案要求支持2013年戈登表面化学反应会议。该会议将于2013年4月28日至5月3日在瑞士Les Diablerets的Les Diablerets会议中心举行，将汇集领先的专家，讨论该领域最新和最令人兴奋的工作。地点的改变将增加欧洲科学家的参与。主题和题目的选择是为了说明学术和工业兴趣的表面化学中的广泛概念。主题包括：- 表面催化，-表面和新材料的合成，-摩擦学，-表面液体和其他界面研究，-表面光化学，-基础表面化学研究。年轻研究人员的参与将为本次会议增添重要价值，并将促进学术和工业问题相结合的领域的当前和未来领导者之间的交流。会议的设置和程序使与会者留在现场，并最大限度地提高互动和知识话语和网络。

1304053Stair Chemical reactions at surfaces are key processes in catalysis, coatings, lubrication, solid state devices, and other technologies that are critical for improving the quality of life while simultaneously reducing the adverse impact of human activities on the environment. The discovery and development of new surface processes and the improvement of existing ones can make important contributions to securing the nation's energy supply. This proposal requests support for the 2013 Gordon Conference on Chemical Reactions at Surfaces. The conference, which will be held at the Les Diablerets Conference Center in Les Diablerets, Switzerland on April 28- May 3, 2013, will bring together leading experts to discuss the latest and most exciting work in the field. The change in venue will increase participation by European scientists. The themes and topics are chosen to illustrate broad concepts in surface chemistry of academic and industrial interest. Topics include: - catalysis at surfaces, - synthesis of surfaces and novel materials, - tribology, - liquids at surfaces and other interface studies, - surface photochemistry,-fundamental surface chemistry studies.A special effort will be made to support young scientists who otherwise would be unable to attend: junior faculty members, postdoctoral fellows and advanced graduate students. Participation by young researchers will add significant value to this conference and will foster communications among current and future leaders in a field that combines academic and industrial issues. The setting and program for the conference keeps the participants on site and maximizes interactions and intellectual discourse and networking.
