Support for the Advances in Catalysis Symposium in the 2015 International Advances in Functional Materials Conference; Stony Brook, NY

该提案支持来自美国大学的研究生和本科生参加催化进展研讨会的旅费和注册费，该研讨会将于2015年6月29日至7月3日在纽约州立大学石溪分校举行，作为2015年国际功能材料进展（AFM）会议的一部分。本提案所争取的资金将用于支付来自美国各机构的大约10名研究生和本科生的旅费和注册费。催化剂研讨会和相关讲座将为学生提供一个了解催化领域最新进展的机会，以及新兴的研究和技术兴趣领域。他们也将有机会展示自己的研究成果，并与其他学生和该领域的知名专家讨论结果。催化是一项重要的使能技术，可以满足许多紧迫的经济和社会需求，包括能源可持续性、化学制造和石油精炼、页岩气处理和环境保护。参加会议将有助于培养下一代催化科学家和工程师，并激励本科生在催化领域从事职业，从而确保训练有素的劳动力，以满足催化领域日益增长的需求。

1546648Kim, Tae JinThe proposal supports travel and registration costs for graduate and undergraduate students from United States universities attending the Advances in Catalysis Symposium that will be held as part of the 2015 International Advances in Functional Materials (AFM) Conference from June 29-July 3, 2015 at SUNY Stony Brook in Stony Brook, NY. The funds sought in this proposal will be used to defray travel and registration costs for approximately 10 graduate and undergraduate students from United States institutions.The catalyst symposium and related talks will provide students an opportunity to learn about the most recent advances in the field of catalysis, as well as emerging areas of research and technological interest. They will also have an opportunity to present their own research findings and discuss results with other students and established experts in the field. Catalysis is an important enabling technology for many pressing economic and societal needs, including energy sustainability, chemical manufacturing and petroleum refining, shale gas processing, and environmental protection. Conference participation will help train the next generation of catalytic scientists and engineers, and also inspire undergraduate students to pursue careers in the area of catalysis, thus ensuring a well-trained workforce to meet growing demands in the catalysis area.
