This grant is to provide travel support for US-based researchers to attend The 9th Sino-USA Joint Conference of Chemical Engineering (SUCE 2017), to be held in Beijing, China, on October 15 - 19, 2017. The theme of the conference is Green Chemical Engineering and a special emphasis will be placed on Chemical Engineering yielding environmental benefits. The organizing committee, which consists of distinguished researchers with a broad range of skills in chemical engineering, will provide for a vibrant and diverse atmosphere that will foster exchange of ideas on research and education. It is anticipated that approximately 35 US-based researchers will receive partial travel support to attend this conference.Global challenges related to depletion of nonrenewable energy resources, climate change, environmental pollution, and population growth are creating a need for the development of green and sustainable manufacturing technologies. The three-and-half-day technical conference will feature invited plenary and keynote lectures, oral presentations, two plenary discussion panels, one forum and a poster session. The conference will emphasize not only the role of chemical engineers in the development of sustainable chemical and energy processes, but will also explore the frontiers of Chemical Engineering research and the fundamental principles that are needed to tackle these challenges. The US-based conference participants supported by this grant will have the opportunity to network with leading researchers from China and exchange ideas about the current status and future directions in research and education. 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 organizers plan to give special consideration to young or junior faculty members from U.S. Universities. Female and under-represented minorities will also receive special consideration. The conference will address global challenges with potentially significant benefits to society.

该补助金将为美国研究人员提供差旅支持，以参加将于2017年10月15日至19日在中国北京举行的第九届中美化学工程联合会议（SUCE 2017）。会议的主题是绿色化学工程，并特别强调化学工程产生的环境效益。组委会由具有广泛化学工程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35名美国研究人员将获得部分差旅费支持参加本次会议。与不可再生能源资源枯竭、气候变化、环境污染和人口增长相关的全球性挑战正在产生对开发绿色和可持续制造技术的需求。为期三天半的技术会议将邀请全体会议和主题演讲，口头介绍，两个全体讨论小组，一个论坛和一个海报会议。会议不仅将强调化学工程师在可持续化学和能源过程发展中的作用，还将探讨化学工程研究的前沿和应对这些挑战所需的基本原则。此次会议的与会者将有机会与来自中国的领先研究人员建立联系，并就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。 组织者计划特别考虑来自美国大学的年轻或初级教师。女性和代表性不足的少数群体也将得到特别考虑。会议将讨论全球性挑战，对社会有潜在的重大利益。
