1733968 NiemeyerThis proposal is to support the costs of the meeting and the travels of the participants who will attend the workshop on Building a Sustainable Combustion Research Community. This proposed workshop will be held on April 22 and 23, 2017, prior to the 10th US National Combustion Meeting in College Park, MD. Workshop participants will consist of junior faculty members who just started their academic careers in the field of combustion and fire research. In the U.S. nearly 70% of energy conversion is accomplished by combustion. Hence the advancement in combustion science is crucial to the society. The workshop discussion will be focused on the future challenges in the field from the perspectives of early-career researchers, who will be the workforce to address these future challenges in their careers. Workshop findings will be documented in a report that will be disseminated to the wider technical community.Combustion is a key technology for power generation, and this will remain the same for decades to come. However, the combustion research community is facing various technical and non-technical challenges. The goal of this workshop is to identify challenges, educate the early-career researchers about these challenges, and discuss possible solutions. Discussion around technical issues will include brainstorming of novel, possibly cross-disciplinary research areas for future work. On the other hand, various non-technical issues will also be discussed, including communication with the general public and lawmakers and attracting and retaining talented researchers of diverse backgrounds. Results of this workshop are expected to help build a more productive combustion research community.

1733968尼梅尔这项提议是为了支付会议的费用和参加建立可持续燃烧研究社区研讨会的与会者的旅费。这个拟议的研讨会将于2017年4月22日和23日在马里兰州大学公园举行第10届美国国家燃烧会议之前举行。研讨会的参与者将由刚刚开始他们在燃烧和火灾研究领域的学术生涯的初级教员组成。在美国，近70%的能源转换是通过燃烧完成的。因此，燃烧科学的进步对社会至关重要。研讨会将从早期研究人员的角度重点讨论该领域未来的挑战，他们将成为应对职业生涯中这些未来挑战的劳动力。研讨会的结果将被记录在一份报告中，并将分发给更广泛的技术界。燃烧是发电的关键技术，这一点在未来几十年将保持不变。然而，燃烧研究界面临着各种技术和非技术挑战。本研讨会的目标是确定挑战，对职业早期研究人员进行有关这些挑战的教育，并讨论可能的解决方案。围绕技术问题的讨论将包括为未来的工作集思广益，可能是跨学科的研究领域。另一方面，还将讨论各种非技术性问题，包括与公众和立法者的沟通，以及吸引和留住具有不同背景的有才华的研究人员。这一研讨会的成果有望帮助建立一个更具生产力的燃烧研究社区。
