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

1516346-Caretta这笔赠款将为将于2016年6月12-15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(ISCRE-24)的学生和教职员工提供差旅支持。这次国际研讨会旨在提供一年两次的关于反应工程前沿的关注，并提供一个在反应工程界建立国际网络的机会。组委会由在化学反应工程方面具有广泛技能的成员组成，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协调使用，以支持初级教师和博士后学生参加研讨会的旅费。在以往在美国举行的会议的基础上，预计将有大约300名与会者参加。智力优势：ISCRE 24的科学主题是“化学反应工程的基础和前景”。在保护环境的同时，以可持续的方式满足世界对能源、食品、水和药品的需求，需要开发新技术和先进材料。这次研讨会的主题是抓住化学反应工程在应对这些挑战中所发挥的重要作用，同时关注基础(基础)和未来方向(展望)。研讨会将交流CRE基本原理、使能技术以及催化剂、膜和太阳能电池等先进材料的最新研究成果。广泛影响：会议参与者将受益于领先专家的最新评论和演讲，通过交流前沿研究主题的最新进展，以及通过与CRE学科的同行辩论争议点。会议还将为产业界和学术界研究人员之间的交流与合作提供机会。这将对参加会议的年轻工业界和学术界研究人员特别有利。发放旅费和登记补贴预计将吸引许多研究生，包括妇女和少数族裔，参加会议，否则他们可能无法出席。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互动，这可能会对他们的专业发展产生积极影响。为了进一步吸引和发展我们的年轻同事，私人投资总监计划增加初级会议主席的数量，并有一些初级主旨演讲者。

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.
