Kokes Awards for the 24th North American Catalysis Society Meeting

该提案寻求资金，以支持研究生和本科生参加将于2015年6月16日至20日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行的北美催化学会(NACS)第24届会议。具体地说，这笔资金将向来自美国大学的30名学生提供帮助，用于支付通过NACS赞助的科克斯旅行奖计划管理的注册费和旅行相关费用。学生们将在会议上发表他们的研究成果，出席催化领域领导人的讲座，并协助组织者举办会议。两年一次的NACS会议是北美规模最大的催化会议。学生参与有助于在科学和工程的这一重要方面培训年轻研究人员，支持在环境污染控制、能源利用、可持续发展和减少温室气体以及美国化工和石油行业的竞争力方面取得进展。

The proposal seeks funding to support graduate and undergraduate participation in the 24th meeting of the North American Catalysis Society (NACS) to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania June 16-20, 2015. Specifically, the funds will provide assistance to 30 students from U.S. universities for registration fees and travel related expenses as administered through the Kokes Travel Award program sponsored by the NACS. The students will present their research at the conference, attend lectures by leaders in the field of catalysis, and provide assistance to the organizers in running the meeting.The biennial NACS meetings are the largest North American meetings dedicated to catalysis. Student participation helps train young researchers in this vital aspect of science and enginering that supports advances in environmental pollution control, energy utilization, sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction, and competitiveness of the U.S. chemical and petroleum industries.
