Group Travel for U.S. Participants in the Twelfth International Congress on Catalysis

建议标题：第十二届国际催化大会美国与会者的团体旅行建议编号：CTS-0002738首席调查者：威廉·C·康纳机构：马萨诸塞大学第12届国际催化大会将于7月9日在西班牙格拉纳达举行。国际催化大会理事会监督这些会议，并有来自大约20个国家的代表。这些会议每四年举行一次，由于世界对特种化学品、石油产品和环境催化应用的合成重新产生了兴趣，出席人数大幅增加。前次会议出席人数超过1,250人。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，因此确保学术界和工业界的参与非常重要。大会将集中讨论“催化领域的新前沿”。将优先讨论下列主题：固体催化剂的分子设计；催化反应的最新发展；新的实验方法和新的工业应用。所有国际会议的会议记录都已出版，并对催化文献做出了重大贡献。本届大会将促进国际与会者之间的交流。这笔赠款的目的是帮助支付参加会议的人和年轻教职员工的费用。

AbstractProposal Title: Group Travel for US Participants in the Twelfth International Congress on CatalysisProposal Number: CTS-0002738Principal Investigator: William C. ConnerInstitution: University of MassachusettsThe 12th International Congress on Catalysis will be held in Granada, Spain during the week of July 9th. The Council of the International Congress on Catalysis oversees these meetings and has representation from approximately 20 countries. These meetings are held every four years, and the attendance has shown large increases due to a renewed world interest in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, petroleum-based products, and catalytic applications for the environment. Attendance at the previous meeting exceeded 1250. Because advances in a large number of catalytic processes, which are crucial to US interests, will be presented at this meeting, it is important to ensure participation from both the academic and industrial sectors. The Congress will focus on the topic of "New Frontiers in Catalysis." Priority will be given to the following topics: molecular design of solid catalysts; recent developments in catalytic reactions; new experimental methods, and new industrial applications. The proceedings of all International Congresses are published and constitute a significant contribution to the literature on catalysis. This Congress will promote interchange among the international participants. The purpose of this grant is to help defray costs for those participating in the meeting and for younger faculty.
