USA - Pakistan International Conference on Renewable Energy (additional support)

确保未来的可持续能源来源是一项全球性挑战，国际合作将使其受益匪浅。将于2016年10月10日至12日在巴基斯坦拉合尔举行的美国-巴基斯坦可再生能源国际会议将促进这些合作。确保未来的可持续能源来源是一项全球性挑战，需要开展全球合作，以开发适合各种需求和运营环境的有效技术。美国科学家越来越多地寻求在研究阶段评估技术的试验台，寻求具有新视角的合作伙伴，并为他们开发的技术寻找新市场。该项目将把美国科学家和工程师带到巴基斯坦参加为期三天的会议，讨论广泛的替代能源技术，重点是材料设计，合成和材料可持续性的评估。这种直接的沟通可以促进合作，通过为美国人员提供更具全球性的视角以及新合作伙伴的见解，提高研究工作的质量，多功能性和适用性。研讨会将讨论一系列既前沿又适合促进美国和巴基斯坦科学家和工程师之间合作的主题。这些主题包括：新能源、储能和智能电网技术、太阳能、氢能和燃料电池、核能、风能和其他能源（地热、生物燃料、能源效率等）的国际合作。讲习班的结构将促进来自不同学科和处于不同职业阶段的科学家和工程师之间的互动。它将包括美国和巴基斯坦的学术机构、国家研究实验室和工业界的研究人员。企业家，政策制定者和制造商也将出席，会议包括一个行业/制造商博览会。

Securing future sources of sustainable energy is a global challenge that will benefit greatly from international collaboration. The USA-Pakistan International Conference on Renewable Energy, to be held in Lahore, Pakistan from October 10 to 12, 2016, will facilitate these collaborations. Securing future sources of sustainable energy is a global challenge and global collaboration is required to develop effective technologies that suit the wide range of needs and operating environments. U.S. scientists are increasingly seeking test-beds for evaluating technologies at the research stage, are seeking partners with new perspectives, and also seek new markets for the technologies they develop. This project will bring U.S. scientists and engineers to Pakistan for a three day conference to discuss a wide range of alternative energy technologies, focusing overall on material design, synthesis and evaluation of material sustainability. This direct communication may facilitate collaborations that improve the quality, versatility and applicability of research efforts by providing U.S. personnel with a more global perspective as well as the insights of new partners. The workshop will discuss a range of topics that are both cutting edge and appropriate for promoting collaboration between U.S. and Pakistani scientists and engineers. The topics include: International Collaboration on New Energy, Storage and Smart Grid Technologies, Solar Energy, Hydrogen and Fuel Cells, Nuclear Energy, Wind Energy, and Other Energy Sources (geothermal, biofuel, energy efficiency, etc.). The workshop will be structured to promote interactions among scientists and engineers from different disciplines and at different career stages. It will include researchers in academic institutions, national research labs and industry in the U.S. and Pakistan. Entrepreneurs, policy makers and manufacturers are also expected to be present, and the conference includes an industry/manufacturers expo.
