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

CBET- 1648823 P.I: Nair， SankarInstitution: Georgia Tech Research corporation标题：第十四届国际无机膜会议（ICIM 2016）该项目将提供旅费，部分支持大约15-20名研究生、博士后和初级教师参加2016年7月10-13日在乔治亚州亚特兰大的佐治亚理工学院举行的第十四届国际无机膜会议（ICIM 2016）。ICIM是无机膜领域的首要和长期会议系列，每两年举行一次。2014年7月6日至9日，ICIM在澳大利亚布里斯班举行了第13次会议。无机膜在解决重要的社会挑战，如燃料、化学品、可再生能源和饮用水的高效生产方面，已经显示出明显的潜力。以及先进的环境修复和减缓气候变化。ICIM是唯一一个致力于无机膜科学、工程和工业应用的国际会议。来自美国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。预期结果包括：1。使初级教师和研究生更多地参与，从而促进交流机会，并与资深研究人员建立新的国内和国际合作。2. 为学生和教师创造机会，与同龄人和更资深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. 除了人力资源的发展，所提供的支持将允许展示来自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.
