The project will provide support for graduate student participation in the 17th International Congress on Catalysis (ICC) to be held in San Diego, California (CA) on June 14-19, 2020. Specifically, the funding will partially cover registration and travel expenses of approximately 35 U.S. academic PhD students to attend the Congress and facilitate their interaction with the international catalysis community. The students will present their research at the conference, attend lectures by leaders in the field of catalysis, and interact with fellow students from around the world. The ICC meetings are the largest global meeting dedicated to catalysis, and are held once every four years. The Congress was last held in the United States in 1996. The theme of 17th ICC - 2020 Vision for Catalysis - aims to look into the future for catalysis research guided by the past and to assess the present state of catalysis in context of what lies ahead. The program will highlight recent developments,challenges, and opportunities in the context of shifting feedstocks and in the discovery and development of experimental and computational methods. The scientific program will include plenary and keynote lectures, invited and ontributed papers and poster presentations. The proceedings of all International Congresses are published as abstracts on the web. They also constitute a significant part of the archival literature on catalysis. The critical importance of catalysis is reflected by the fact that 25-30% of all manufactured goods in the United States involve at least one catalytic step. Because advances in a large number of catalytic processes, which are crucial to U.S. interests, will be presented at this meeting, it is important to ensure participation from both the U.S. academic and the industrial sectors. Furthermore, the International Congress is a rare opportunity for U.S. students to interact with fellow students and premier researchers from all across the world at the most prestigious conference the catalysis community has to offer. This will significantly assist with maintaining U.S. research competitiveness, while also inspiring students to tackle grand challenges related to catalytic processes. Catalysis is an enabling technology for a broad range of scientific and engineering impact areas related to environmental pollution control, sustainability, energy, and chemicals, to name just a few. Student training and engagement in these areas ensures a future crop of catalytic researchers well-positioned to make continued advances to science and engineering that will serve the needs of the Nation and society in general for years to come.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.

该项目将为研究生参与于2020年6月14日至19日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥（CA）举行的第17届国际催化国际大会（ICC）提供支持。具体来说，这笔资金将部分涵盖约35名美国学术博士学位的登记和差旅费，大约有35名美国学术博士学位学生参加国会与国际竞争社区的互动。学生将在会议上介绍他们的研究，参加催化领域的领导人的讲座，并与来自世界各地的同学互动。 ICC会议是致力于催化的最大全球会议，每四年举行一次。国会最后一次于1996年在美国举行。第17 ICC -2020催化愿景的主题旨在研究以过去的指导下的催化研究，并在未来的情况下评估当前的催化状态。该计划将在转移原料以及实验和计算方法的发现和开发中重点介绍最近的发展，挑战和机遇。科学计划将包括全体会议和主题演讲，被邀请和归类的论文和海报演示。所有国际大会的会议记录均以网络上的摘要出版。它们还构成了有关催化的档案文献的重要组成部分。催化的重要性反映了以下事实：美国所有制造商品中有25-30％涉及至少一个催化步骤。由于将在本次会议上提出大量对美国利益至关重要的催化过程的进步，因此确保美国学术和工业部门的参与很重要。此外，国际大会是美国学生在催化社区必须提供的最负盛名的会议上与来自世界各地的同学和总理研究人员互动的难得的机会。这将大大有助于维持美国的研究竞争力，同时还激发学生应对与催化过程有关的巨大挑战。催化是一种与环境污染控制，可持续性，能源和化学物质相关的广泛科学和工程影响领域的促成技术，仅举几例。在这些领域的学生培训和参与度确保了未来的催化研究人员的培训，以继续努力，以继续前进，这将在未来的几年中一直满足国家和社会的需求。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识智能和更广泛影响的评估来审查Criteria通过评估的支持。
