Reconnecting the Academic and Industrial Analytical Communities: Summer Workshops on Identifying Common Ground

这项由分析和表面化学计划支持的学术联络机会（GOALI）项目将举办两个研讨会，旨在将工业和学术分析科学家聚集在一起，以增加互动和知识交流。在这项为期三年的标准资助的支持下，密歇根州立大学的Gary Blanchard教授、杜邦公司的Bruce Chase博士和陶氏化学公司的David Rothman博士将组织这些研讨会，这些研讨会将在戈登分析化学研究会议的非年度举行。这些活动将把来自学术界和工业界的年轻分析科学家聚集在一起，目的是增进这两个群体之间的了解和交流，以便加强对分析科学家的培训及其随后对该领域的贡献。在学术和工业环境中，教授和从事分析科学的人显然需要更好的沟通。将举办两个讲习班，旨在为来自学术界和工业界的年轻分析科学家提供机会，以便在研究和教育方面相互交流和探索相互和互补的领域。随着分析化学科学技术的发展，这些研讨会有望在这两个社区中建立一个分析科学家网络，促进互利的思想和信息交流。

This Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) project, supported in the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, will enable two workshops designed to bring together industrial and academic analytical scientists for the purpose of increased interaction and intellectual exchange. Under the aegis of this three-year standard grant, Professor Gary Blanchard of Michigan State University, Dr. Bruce Chase of the DuPont Company, and Dr. David Rothman of the Dow Chemical Company will organize these workshops that will be held in off-years relative to the Gordon Research Conference on Analytical Chemistry. These activities will bring together young analytical scientists from academe and industry with the objective of enhancing understanding and communication between these two groups so that training of analytical scientists and their subsequent contributions to the field will be strengthened. There is a clear need for better communication between `those that teach and those that do` analytical science in academic and industrial settings. Two workshops will be held that are designed to provide opportunities for young analytical scientists from academe and industry to interact and explore areas of mutual and complementary interests in research and education. These workshops are expected to give rise to a network of analytical scientists across these two communities that facilitates the mutually beneficial exchange of ideas and information as the science and technology of analytical chemistry evolves.
