Travel Grant for the 24th International Symposium for Chemical Reaction Engineering (ISCRE-24)

1516346 - caretta该基金用于为2016年6月12日至15日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行的第24届化学反应工程国际研讨会（iscre24）的学生和教师提供差旅支持。该国际研讨会旨在提供两年一次的关注反应工程前沿的机会，并为反应工程界的国际交流提供机会。组委会由具有广泛化学反应工程技能的成员组成，将提供一个充满活力和多样化的国际研讨会。资金将与私人筹集的资金一起用于支持初级教师和博士后学生参加研讨会的旅行。根据以往在美国举行的会议，预计将有大约300名与会者参加。智力优势：本课程的科学主题为“化学反应工程的基础与展望”。以可持续的方式满足世界对能源、粮食、水和药品的需求，同时保护环境，需要发展新技术和先进材料。本次研讨会的主题是抓住化学反应工程在解决这些挑战中所起的重要作用，同时关注基础（基础）和未来方向（前景）。本次研讨会将重点介绍CRE基础、使能技术和先进材料（如催化剂、膜和太阳能电池）的最新研究。更广泛的影响：会议参与者将受益于顶尖专家的最新评论和演讲，通过交流前沿研究课题的最新进展，并与CRE学科的同行辩论有争议的观点。会议还将为产业界和学术界的研究人员提供互动与合作的机会。这将特别有利于年轻的工业和学术研究人员参加。差旅费和注册津贴的奖励有望吸引包括女性和少数民族在内的许多研究生参加会议，否则他们可能无法参加。这些学生将有机会相互交流，并与该领域经验丰富的研究人员交流，这将对他们的专业发展产生积极的影响。为了进一步吸引会议和发展我们的年轻同事，PIs计划增加初级会议主席的数量，并有一些初级主题演讲者。

1516346 - CarettaThis grant is to provide travel support for students and faculty for the 24th International Symposium for Chemical Reaction Engineering (ISCRE-24) that will be held in Minneapolis, MN, on June 12-15, 2016. This international symposium aims to provide a biannual focus on the frontiers of reaction engineering and an opportunity for international networking in the reaction engineering community. The organizing committee, which consists of members with a broad range of skills in chemical reaction engineering will provide for a vibrant and diverse international symposium. Funds will be utilized in concert with privately raised funds to support the travel of junior faculty and post-docs students to attend the symposium. It is anticipated that approximately 300 attendees will participate based on previous conferences held in the United States.Intellectual Merit :The scientific theme for ISCRE 24 is "Foundations and Vistas in Chemical Reaction Engineering". Meeting the world's demands for energy, food, water and medicine in a sustainable way, while protecting the environment requires development of new technologies and advanced materials. The theme of this symposium is to capture the essential role that chemical reaction engineering plays in addressing these challenges with both a focus on the fundamentals (foundations) and future directions (vistas). The symposium will feature communications of recent research on CRE fundamentals, enabling technologies, and advanced materials such as catalysts, membranes and solar cells.Broader Impacts :The meeting participants will benefit from state-of-the-art reviews and presentations by leading experts, by exchanging the latest advances on frontier research subjects, and by debating controversial points with their peers in the CRE discipline. The meeting will also provide an opportunity for interaction and cooperation among industrial and academic researchers. This will be especially beneficial to the young industrial and academic researchers who attend. The award of travel funds and registration subsidy are expected to attract many graduate students, including women and minority, to the meeting that they may otherwise be unable to attend. These students will have an opportunity to interact with each other and with experienced researchers in the field, which could positively influence their professional development. In order to further attract to the meeting and develop our young colleagues, the PIs plan to increase the number of junior session chairs and have a number of junior keynote speakers.
