This grant will provide travel support for US-based junior faculty, post-doctoral associates and graduate students to attend two conferences in Europe: The Second International Process Intensification Conference (IPIC2) in Leuven, Belgium, and the First International Conference on Unconventional Catalysis, Reactors and Applications (UCRA2019)) in Zaragoza, Spain. The two conferences will cover unique topics that are relevant to the Manufacturing USA initiative. Training the future US workforce on topics, such as process intensification and modular manufacturing, is critical for creating a competitive advantage that will enable the development of a modern manufacturing infrastructure in the US leading to job creation and economic development.The IPIC2 and UCRA2019 conferences will cover a broad range of topics on Process Intensification, Unconventional Catalysis and Advanced Manufacturing, including: Batch to Continuous Processes; Energy Activation for Processes and Materials; Multifunctional Reactors and Hybrid Separators Modular Processes; Microreactors; 3D Printing and Process Intensification; Novel Process and Equipment Concepts; Modelling and Control of Intensified Processes; Scale up and Industrial Implementation; Unconventional Catalyst Synthesis and Manufacturing Methods; Unconventional Activation/Energy Supply Methods; Catalysis in Unconventional Environments; Unconventional Catalytic Reactors. The meeting participants will benefit from state-of-the-art plenary talks and keynote lectures by leading experts in academia and industry, by exchanging the latest advances on frontier research subjects, and by debating controversial points with their peers. The meetings will also provide an excellent opportunity for interaction and cooperation among industrial and academic researchers. The grant will support junior researchers, including women and members of under-represented groups, that they may otherwise be unable to attend the conferences. The US-based junior researchers will have an opportunity to interact with experienced academic and industrial researchers from around the world, which will positively influence their professional development.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这笔赠款将为美国的初级教师，博士后助理和研究生提供旅行支持，参加欧洲的两个会议：在比利时鲁汶举行的第二届国际过程强化会议（IPIC 2）和在西班牙萨拉戈萨举行的第一届非常规催化，反应器和应用国际会议（UCRA 2019）。这两个会议将涵盖与美国制造计划相关的独特主题。为美国未来的劳动力提供过程强化和模块化制造等方面的培训，对于创造竞争优势至关重要，这将有助于美国现代制造业基础设施的发展，从而创造就业机会和经济发展。IPIC 2和UCRA 2019会议将涵盖过程强化、非常规催化和先进制造等广泛主题，包括：批量到连续过程;过程和材料的能量活化;多功能反应器和混合分离器模块化过程;微反应器; 3D打印和过程强化;新的过程和设备概念;强化过程的建模和控制;放大和工业实施;非常规催化剂合成和制造方法;非常规活化/能量供应方法;非常规环境中的催化;非常规催化反应器。 与会者将受益于学术界和工业界领先专家的最先进的全体会议和主题演讲，交流前沿研究课题的最新进展，并与同行讨论有争议的问题。这些会议还将为工业和学术研究人员之间的互动与合作提供一个极好的机会。该赠款将支持初级研究人员，包括妇女和代表性不足的群体的成员，否则他们可能无法参加会议。美国的初级研究人员将有机会与来自世界各地的经验丰富的学术和工业研究人员进行互动，这将对他们的专业发展产生积极的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
