This grant is to provide travel support for US-based faculty and students to attend The Fourth International Conference on Sustainable Chemical Product and Process Engineering, Nanjing, China, May 31-June 3, 2016. This international conference has a focus on chemical manufacturing technologies that promote both energy and environmental sustainability. The organizing committee, which consists of distinguished researchers with a broad range of skills in chemical process systems and reaction engineering, will provide for a vibrant and diverse atmosphere that fosters exchange of ideas on research and education. It is anticipated that approximately 25 US-based researchers will receive partial travel support to attend this conference.Intellectual Merit:Depletion of nonrenewable energy resources, climate change, environmental pollution, and population growth are creating global challenges, whose solution heavily depends on the development of sustainable manufacturing technologies. The scientific theme of this Conference is "Sustainable Design of Materials, Process Innovations, and Energy-Water Sustainability". Meeting the world's demands for energy, food, water, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals in a sustainable manner while protecting the environment will be key topics of this conference. Despite its importance, sustainability science is still far from being exact, and there is a serious lack of sustainable engineering methodologies and tools that can be implemented by the chemical industry. The conference will provide a unique forum for researchers, scientists, and industrial practitioners from around world to assess the current status of research on sustainable manufacturing and discuss future directions. Broader Impacts:The US-based conference participants supported by this grant will have the opportunity to network with leading researchers from around the world and exchange ideas about the current status and future directions in research and education on sustainable manufacturing practices. They will benefit from state-of-the-art reviews and presentations by leading experts and by debating controversial points with their peers. The meeting will also provide an opportunity for interaction and cooperation among industrial and academic researchers. The conference will address global challenges in the field of sustainable manufacturing with potentially significant benefits to society. The organizers plan to encourage faculty researchers as well as graduate/undergraduate students, especially those from underrepresented groups, to participate and receive partial support from this grant. The conference will also include a workshop for catalyzing international collaborations on sustainable chemical engineering research and education. This will be especially beneficial to the young industrial and academic researchers, who will have an opportunity to interact with each other and with experienced researchers in the field from around the world, which could positively influence their professional development.

该补助金将为美国的教师和学生提供旅行支持，以参加2016年5月31日至6月3日在中国南京举行的第四届可持续化学产品和过程工程国际会议。本次国际会议的重点是促进能源和环境可持续性的化学制造技术。组委会由在化学过程系统和反应工程方面具有广泛技能的杰出研究人员组成，将提供一个充满活力和多样化的氛围，促进研究和教育方面的思想交流。预计约25名美国研究人员将获得部分差旅费支持，以参加此次会议。学术成果：不可再生能源的枯竭、气候变化、环境污染、人口增长等问题正在成为全球性的挑战，解决这些挑战的关键在于可持续制造技术的发展。本次会议的科学主题是“材料的可持续设计，工艺创新和能源-水的可持续性”。以可持续的方式满足世界对能源、食品、水、化学品和药品的需求，同时保护环境将是这次会议的主要议题。尽管其重要性，可持续性科学仍然远远不够准确，并且严重缺乏可由化学工业实施的可持续工程方法和工具。 会议将为来自世界各地的研究人员、科学家和工业从业者提供一个独特的论坛，以评估可持续制造研究的现状，并讨论未来的发展方向。更广泛的影响：由这笔赠款支持的美国与会者将有机会与来自世界各地的领先研究人员建立联系，并就可持续制造实践研究和教育的现状和未来方向交换意见。他们将受益于领先专家的最先进的评论和演讲，并与同行讨论有争议的观点。会议还将为工业和学术研究人员之间的互动与合作提供机会。会议将讨论可持续制造领域的全球挑战，并为社会带来潜在的重大利益。 组织者计划鼓励教师研究人员以及研究生/本科生，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体，参与并获得这笔赠款的部分支持。会议还将包括一个促进可持续化学工程研究和教育国际合作的研讨会。这将特别有利于年轻的工业和学术研究人员，他们将有机会相互交流，并与来自世界各地的该领域经验丰富的研究人员进行交流，这将对他们的专业发展产生积极影响。
