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加将于2020年6月14日至19日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行的第17届国际催化大会(ICC)提供支持。具体地说，这笔资金将部分用于支付约35名美国学术博士生参加大会并促进他们与国际催化界的互动的注册和旅费。学生们将在会议上展示他们的研究成果，出席催化领域领导人的讲座，并与来自世界各地的同学互动。国际商会会议是致力于催化的最大全球会议，每四年举行一次。大会上一次在美国举行是在1996年。第17届ICC的主题--2020催化远景--旨在展望过去指导下的催化研究的未来，并在未来的背景下评估催化的现状。该计划将重点介绍在原料转移以及实验和计算方法的发现和发展方面的最新发展、挑战和机遇。科学计划将包括全体会议和主旨演讲，受邀和受邀的论文和海报演示。所有国际会议的会议记录都以摘要的形式在网上公布。它们也构成了有关催化作用的档案文献的重要组成部分。美国25%-30%的制成品至少涉及一个催化步骤，这反映了催化的关键重要性。由于对美国利益至关重要的大量催化过程的进展将在这次会议上介绍，因此确保美国学术界和工业界的参与非常重要。此外，国际会议为美国学生提供了一个难得的机会，让他们在催化领域提供的最负盛名的会议上与来自世界各地的同学和顶尖研究人员互动。这将大大有助于保持美国的研究竞争力，同时也激励学生应对与催化过程相关的重大挑战。催化是一种使能技术，适用于与环境污染控制、可持续发展、能源和化学品相关的广泛的科学和工程影响领域，仅举几例。这些领域的学生培训和参与确保了未来一批催化剂研究人员处于有利地位，能够在科学和工程领域继续取得进展，在未来几年服务于国家和社会的总体需求。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
