The 14th International Conference on Inorganic Membranes (ICIM 2016)

CBET-1648823 P.I.：NAIR，Sankar机构：佐治亚理工学院研究公司标题：第14届无机膜国际会议(ICIM2016)该项目将提供差旅资金，部分支持约15-20名研究生、博士后和初级教员参加2016年7月10日至13日在佐治亚理工学院举行的第14届国际无机膜会议(ICIM2016)。ICIM是无机膜领域首屈一指的、历史悠久的系列会议，每两年举行一次。上一次(第13次)会议，ICIM 2014，于2014年7月6日至9日在澳大利亚布里斯班举行。无机膜在解决燃料、化学品、可再生能源和饮用水的高效生产以及先进的环境修复和减缓气候变化等重大社会挑战方面显示出明显的潜力。ICIM是唯一一个致力于无机膜的科学、工程和工业应用的国际会议。国家科学基金会的资金将用于学生和博士后会议费用以及初级教师，使更多的美国工程师和科学家能够参加ICIM 2016。预期的结果包括：1.促进初级教师和研究生的更多参与，从而促进网络机会，并与资深研究人员建立新的国内和国际合作。2.为学生和教职员工创造机会，让他们与同龄人和更年长的社区成员分享他们的成就。他们收到的反馈可以帮助指导他们的工作，并提供鼓励。3.除了开发人力资源外，所提供的支助还将有助于介绍全国最具创新性的学术实验室的最新研究成果。

CBET- 1648823 P.I.: Nair, SankarInstitution: Georgia Tech Research CorporationTitle: The 14th International Conference on Inorganic Membranes (ICIM 2016)This project will provide travel funds to partially support approximately 15-20 graduate and post doctoral students and junior faculty to attend the 14th International Conference on Inorganic Membranes (ICIM 2016) at Georgia Tech, in Atlanta, GA from July 10-13, 2016. ICIM is the premier and long-standing conference series in the field of inorganic membranes, and is held every two years. The previous (13th) meeting, ICIM 2014, was held July 6-9, 2014 in Brisbane, Australia. Inorganic membranes have shown clear potential to play a key role in solving important societal challenges such as efficient production of fuels, chemicals, renewable energy, and drinking water; as well as advanced environmental remediation and climate change mitigation. ICIM is the only international conference dedicated to the science, engineering, and industrial use of inorganic membranes.Funding from the National Science Foundation would be used for student and postdoc conference expenses and junior faculty, enabling more US engineers and scientists to participate in ICIM 2016. The expected outcomes include: 1. Enable greater participation by junior faculty and graduate students and thus facilitating networking opportunities and establish new domestic and international collaborations with veteran researchers. 2. Creation of opportunities for students and faculty to share their accomplishments with peers and more senior members of the community. The feedback they receive can help direct their work and provide encouragement. 3. In addition to the development of human resources, the support provided will allow presentation of the latest research results from the most innovative academic laboratories around the country.
