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.

该赠款是为了为美国的教职员工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工艺工程会议。该国际会议侧重于促进能源和环境可持续性的化学制造技术。组织委员会由具有化学过程系统和反应工程技能的杰出研究人员组成，它将提供充满活力和多样化的氛围，从而促进有关研究和教育思想的交流。预计大约有25位美国的研究人员将获得部分旅行支持，以参加这次会议。智能优点：非可再生能源资源的耗尽，气候变化，环境污染和人口增长正在制定全球挑战，其解决方案在很大程度上取决于可持续制造技术的发展。这次会议的科学主题是“材料，工艺创新和能源可持续性的可持续设计”。以可持续的方式满足世界对能源，食物，水，化学物质和药品的需求将是本次会议的关键主题。尽管它很重要，但可持续性科学仍然远非准确，并且严重缺乏可持续的工程方法和工具可以由化学工业实施。 该会议将为来自世界各地的研究人员，科学家和工业从业人员提供一个独特的论坛，以评估可持续制造研究的当前状态并讨论未来的方向。更广泛的影响：这笔赠款支持的美国会议参与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当前状况和未来方向进行交流思想。他们将从领先的专家的最新评论和演讲中受益，并与同龄人辩论有争议的观点。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。该会议将解决可持续制造领域的全球挑战，并可能对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，尤其是来自代表性不足小组的研究生，以参与并获得这笔赠款的部分支持。该会议还将包括催化有关可持续化学工程研究和教育国际合作的研讨会。这将对年轻的工业和学术研究人员尤其有益，他们将有机会彼此互动，并与来自世界各地的经验丰富的研究人员进行互动，这可能会对他们的专业发展产生积极影响。
