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

1516346 - CarettaThis补助金是为学生和教师提供的第24届国际研讨会化学反应工程（ISCRE-24），将在明尼阿波利斯，明尼苏达州，在2016年6月12日至15日举行的旅行支持。这个国际研讨会的目的是提供一个半年一次的重点放在反应工程的前沿和反应工程界的国际网络的机会。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使用，以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，预计将有约300名与会者参加。学术价值：ISCRE 24的科学主题是“化学反应工程的基础和前景”。以可持续的方式满足世界对能源、食品、水和药品的需求，同时保护环境，需要开发新技术和先进材料。本次研讨会的主题是抓住化学反应工程在应对这些挑战中发挥的重要作用，重点关注基础（基础）和未来方向（前景）。研讨会将重点介绍CRE基础理论、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。更广泛的影响：与会者将受益于顶尖专家的最新评论和演讲，交流前沿研究课题的最新进展，并与CRE学科的同行讨论有争议的观点。会议还将为工业和学术研究人员之间的互动与合作提供机会。这将特别有利于参加的年轻工业和学术研究人员。提供旅费和登记补贴预计将吸引许多研究生，包括妇女和少数民族，参加他们本来可能无法参加的会议。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进行互动，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，PI计划增加青年会议主席的数量，并有一些年轻的主旨发言人。

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.
