2013 Chemical Sciences and Society Summit (CS3) in Japan

化学部的这个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、中国和德国的杰出高水平研究人员，探讨不同主题的前沿化学研究。2013年9月16日至19日在日本东京举行的CS3会议将致力于制定“有效利用元素”的愿景，即寻找减少/替代稀有/贵金属使用的新方法。具体而言，它将专注于催化，能量存储/转换，建筑材料和环境保护等应用领域的研究。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的化学学会（美国的美国化学学会）的讨论而多边发展起来的。该系列旨在对全球化学企业和整个世界具有巨大价值，因为它试图促进跨国团队，跨科学学科和超越机构界限的工作。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宣传和分发。这些结果和建议说明了化学在解决绿色能源挑战和追求经济可行和环境友好的商品化学品生产中的作用。

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.
