The 8th USA-China Chemical Engineering Conference, Shanghai, China, October 12-15,2015

主要研究者：Yang，Ralph T.提案编号：1530543该资助将为美国演讲者、论文作者，特别是年轻的学术参与者提供差旅费，以参加将于2015年10月12日至15日在中国上海举行的第八届中美化学工程会议。这些资金将为美国演讲者、论文作者，特别是参加会议的年轻学术人员提供大约30笔部分旅费。旅费的发放将基于以下考虑：（1）发言者/与会者的科学或技术成就;（2）与年龄和职位有关的专业资格;（3）机构和地域分配。所有奖项将完全符合1964年的民权法案。学术成果：本次会议的主题是：“化学工程的新时代：化学工程的前沿与未来发展”。会议由中国工程院、中国科学院、中国化学工业工程学会（CIESC）和美国化学工程师协会（AIChE）共同主办。会议的目的是为美国化学工程师提供一个与中国同行会面的论坛，讨论最新进展，交流研究思路，并讨论合作机会。更广泛的影响：新能源和可再生能源、清洁燃料、可持续性和环境等全球性问题将成为讨论的焦点，这将有利于美国与会者，并导致新的研究思路和合作的发展。这种直接的交流将有助于美国化工产品在中国和亚洲潜在的巨大市场的开发和扩大。

PI: Yang, Ralph T.Proposal Number: 1530543This grant is to provide travel funds to U.S. speakers, authors of papers, particularly young academic participants to the The 8th USA-China Chemical Engineering Conference, to be held in Shanghai, China, on October 12-15, 2015. The funds will provide for approximately 30 partial travel grant awards to U.S. speakers, authors of papers, particularly young academic participants at the Conference. Travel awards will be made based on the following considerations: (1) scientific or technological merit of the speaker/participant; (2) professional qualifications relative to age and position; (3) institutional and geographical distribution. All awards will be made in full compliance with the Civil Rights Acts of 1964. NSF travel policies with respect to U.S. air carriers will be followed.Intellectual Merit:The theme of the conference is: "New Era of Opportunities and Challenges of Chemical Engineering: Frontier of Chemical Engineering and Future Development of Chemical Industry." The Conference is co-sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chinese Academy of Science, the Chemical Industry & Engineering Society of China (CIESC), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). The purpose of the Conference is to provide a forum for U.S. Chemical Engineers to meet their counterpart in China to discuss the latest advances, exchange research ideas and discuss opportunities for collaboration.Broader Impacts:Global issues such as new and renewable energy sources, clean fuels, sustainability and environment will be among the focal points of discussion that will be beneficial to the U.S. participants, and lead to the development of new research ideas and collaborations. The direct communication will facilitate development and expansion of the potentially vast markets in China as well as Asia for U.S. chemical products.
