Symposium on 'Chemistry of Advanced Materials - A New Subdiscipline,' Washington, D.C., August 23-28, 1992

特别项目办公室提供部分支持，以帮助支付应邀参加“材料化学-新兴分支学科”教学研讨会的学术演讲者和会议主席的旅费。本次研讨会将于1992年8月23日至28日在华盛顿举行的第204届美国化学学会全国会议上发表。为期两天半的研讨会将邀请来自工业、政府和学术机构的公认专家参加。受邀的演讲者代表了广泛的学科和观点，以及材料化学的不同方面。其目的是教育化学家，材料科学家和政策制定者关于材料化学：它是什么，为什么它很重要，以及它在新科学，技术和教育背景下的发展方向。除了让普通科学界了解化学在正在进行的材料科学和技术革命中的作用外，这次研讨会将展示许多化学家在这一领域的共同兴趣，并将有助于重塑化学各个领域之间以及化学与材料科学之间的界限。本次研讨会的支持完全符合材料合成与加工倡议的教育、科学和基础设施目标。全国会议的论坛将教育和关注化学社区对材料化学的重要性和相关性。

Partial support is provided by the Special Projects Office to help cover travel expenses for invited academic speakers and session chairs in connection with their participation in the Pedagogical Symposium, "Materials Chemistry-An Emerging Subdiscipline". This symposium will be presented at the 204th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society on August 23-28, 1992 in Washington DC. The two and one-half day symposium will feature recognized experts from industrial, governmental and academic institutions. The invited speakers represent a wide range of disciplines and perspectives, as well as different facets of materials chemistry. The objective will be to educate chemists, materials scientists and policy makers about materials chemistry: what it is, why it is important, and where it is heading in the context of new science, technology and education. In addition to informing the general scientific community about the role of chemistry in the ongoing revolution in materials science and technology, the symposium will serve to demonstrate the commonality of interest among many chemists in this area and will help reshape the boundaries among the various areas of chemistry and between chemistry and materials science. %%% Support of this symposium is wholly consistent with the educational, scientific and infrastructural goals of the Materials Synthesis and Processing Initiative. The forum of a National Meeting will both educate and focus the chemistry community to the importance and relevance of materials chemistry.
