2013 Chemical Sciences and Society Summit (CS3) in Japan

化学部的这一奖项支持作为化学科学和社会研讨会(CS3)的一部分的国际会议。CS3召集了来自美国、英国、日本、中国和德国的知名高水平研究人员，在不同的主题上探索前沿化学研究。CS3会议将于2013年9月16日至19日在日本东京举行，会议将致力于制定“有效利用元素”的愿景，即找到减少/取代稀有金属/贵金属使用的新方法。具体地说，它将专注于更可持续地应用于催化、储能/转换、建筑材料和环境保护的研究领域。来自各国科技资助机构的代表也参加了研讨会。这些会议是通过每个参与国(美国的美国化学协会)的化学学会的讨论以多边方式发展起来的。本系列旨在对全球化学企业和整个世界具有重要价值，因为它试图促进跨国家团队、跨科学学科和超越机构边界的工作。讲习班的会议记录分别通过期刊文章和网上报告向全球科技界和公众进行宣传和分发。这些结果和建议说明了化学在解决绿色能源方面的挑战以及在追求经济上可行和环境友好的商品化学品生产方面的作用。

This award from the Division of Chemistry supports an international meeting as part of the Chemical Sciences and Society Symposia (CS3). The CS3 convenes eminent high-level researchers from the US, UK, Japan, China and Germany to explore frontier chemistry research on diverse topics. The CS3 meeting in Tokyo, Japan, September 16-19, 2013 will work to chart a vision for "Efficient Utilization of Elements," i.e. finding new ways to reduce/replace the use of rare/precious metals. Specifically, it will focus on research areas with applications for catalysis, energy storage/conversion, construction materials, and environmental safeguard more sustainably. Representatives from each country's science and technology funding agencies also participate in the symposia. These meetings have been developed multilaterally through discussions of the chemical societies in each participating country (American Chemical Society in the US). This series is intended to be of great value to the global chemistry enterprise and to the world at large as it attempts to foster work in trans-national teams, across scientific disciplines, and beyond institutional boundaries. The workshop proceedings are promoted and distributed to the global science and technology community and the general public through journal articles and reports on the web, respectively. These results and recommendations illustrate chemistry's role in solving challenges in green energy and in pursuing economically-feasible and environmentally-benign commodity chemical production.
