Support for U.S. Participants at the 16th International Congress on Catalysis Location: Beijing, China Date: July 3-8, 2016

该奖项将资助约10名美国教授、博士后研究人员和研究生参加将于2016年7月3日至8日在中国北京举行的第16届国际催化大会（ICC）。 ICC大会每四年在世界各地轮流举办一次，是涵盖催化所有领域研究进展的首要全球性会议。催化是一种使能技术，适用于各种化学和能源相关过程，并越来越多地用于环境修复、可持续能源和温室气体排放控制等过程。 所有制成品中有25%至30%至少涉及一个催化步骤。 第16届ICC将有助于将全世界的注意力集中在催化剂在确保可持续未来方面的作用上。 美国的大力参与将确保美国研究人员在确定研究议程方面发挥突出作用，以满足最紧迫的商业和社会需求，以保持美国在所有催化领域的竞争力和环境管理。

The award will support travel for approximately 10 U.S. professors, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate students to attend the 16th International Congress on Catalysis (ICC) to be held in Beijing China on July 3-8, 2016. The ICC Congress is held once every four years at rotating locations around the world, and is the premier worldwide conference covering research advances in all areas of catalysis.Catalysis is an enabling technology for a wide range of chemical and energy-related processes, as well as increasingly for processes aimed at environmental remediation, sustainable energy, and control of greenhouse gas emissions. Twenty-five to thirty per cent of all manufactured products involve at least one catalytic step. The 16th ICC will help to focus worldwide attention on the role of catalysis in ensuring a sustainable future. Strong U.S. participation will ensure that U.S. researchers will play a prominent role in defining the research agenda needed to address the most pressing commercial and societal needs required to maintain U.S. competitiveness and environmental stewardship in all areas of catalysis.
