Physical Chemistry Workshop, University of Illinois, September 15-18, 1987

NSF化学部门的重组将结构化学和热力学项目以及化学物理项目合并为一个新的物理化学项目。由于重组的结果和在该领域取得进展的独特机会，物理化学研讨会将由Jiri Jonas教授（伊利诺伊州）和Sandra C.Greer教授（马里兰州）组织。这次讲习班不仅将审查各个分领域，而且将审查目前的投资，目的是查明可能重复或缺少重要工作的领域。预计这次研讨会的结果将影响88财年的计划，因为Jonas教授是化学咨询委员会的成员，并希望在委员会的秋季会议上提出初步建议。研讨会组织也将受益，因为Greer教授是1985 - 1986学年的轮换教授，因此他理解重组，并对现在合并到物理化学中的项目有很好的概述。

The reorganization of the NSF Chemistry Division has merged theStructural Chemistry and Thermodynamics Program and the ChemicalPhysics Program into a new Physical Chemistry Program. As aconsequence of the reorganization and the unique opportunitiesfor advances in the field, a workshop on physical chemistry willbe organized by Professors Jiri Jonas (Illinois) and Sandra C.Greer (Maryland). This workshop will not only review the varioussubfields, but will review current investments with the purposeof identifying areas of possible duplication or absence ofimportant work. It is anticipated that the results of this workshop will impactplanning in FY88 as Professor Jonas is a member of the ChemistryAdvisory Committee and expects to make preliminaryrecommendations at the fall meeting of the committee. The workshop organization will also benefit because Professor Greer was a rotator during the 1985.1986 academic year and thus understands the reorganization and has a good overview of the programs that have now been combined into Physical Chemistry.
