US-India Workshop: Recent Advances in Organometallic Catalysis and Olefin Polymerization, Pondicherry, India, December 2003

[242938]这个奖项为一个由10名美国科学家组成的代表团提供旅费支持，他们将参加2003年12月在印度本地治里举行的“美印研讨会：有机金属催化和烯烃聚合的最新进展”。麻省大学的Edward B. Coughlin教授和印度金奈理工学院的G. Sundararajan教授是研讨会的组织者，该学科由于在有机和聚合物合成方面的应用而在研究和发展中占据特殊地位。印度在该领域有许多活跃的研究人员，但有机金属化学的多学科方面尚未得到评价。研讨会将联合有机金属催化和烯烃聚合领域的学者和工业科学家，并将确定未来合作的具体研究领域，如有机金属催化剂的合成，烯烃聚合反应中的单位点催化剂，以及催化有机合成领域的应用。有机金属化学是印度政府科技部（DST）确定的重点领域。虽然在印度，参与这一研究领域的化学家人数正在增加，但只有少数几个小组参与使用单位点催化剂进行烯烃聚合的研究。这项研究的成果尚未被印度工业界实现。这次研讨会将使这一领域积极研究的需求得到关注。会议记录将以CD格式出版，然后作为纪念研讨会的特刊出版。DST共同支持这项活动。该奖项为参加将于2003年12月在印度本地治里举行的“美印研讨会：有机金属催化和烯烃聚合的最新进展”的10名美国与会者提供旅费。马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学的E. Bryan Coughlin教授和马德拉斯印度理工学院的G. Sundararajan教授是催化化学和聚合物合成领域这一重要主题研讨会的组织者。美国代表是一个在学术界和工业界之间进行研究相关互动的强大团队，他们将确保研讨会的成功。印度与会者代表了来自学术界、工业界和政府的广泛利益。参加这次研讨会的美国和印度科学家可能会发起新的合作活动。美国PI是一位非常有前途的年轻研究者，具有丰富的行业经验和值得赞扬的外展活动；美国代表团包括年轻科学家和代表性不足群体的代表。该研讨会将得到印度政府科技部（DST）的支持。

0242938CoughlinThis award provides travel support for a delegation of ten US scientists to participate in the US-India Workshop: Recent Advances in Organometallic Catalysis and Olefin Polymerization, Pondicherry, India, December 2003. Professors Edward B. Coughlin, University of Massachusetts, and G. Sundararajan, Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai are the organizers of the workshop in a discipline that has come to hold a special position in research and development by virtue of the applications in organic and polymer syntheses. India has many active researchers in the field, but the multi-disciplinary aspects of organometallic chemistry have not been evaluated. The workshop will unite academicians and industrial scientists in the field of organometallic catalysis and olefin polymerization, and will identify specific research areas for future collaboration such as the synthesis of organometallic catalysts, single-site catalysts in the olefin polymerization reactions, and applications in the field of catalytic organic synthesis. Organometallic chemistry is a thrust area identified by the Government of India Department of Science and Technology (DST). While in India the number of chemists involved in this research area is growing, only a handful of groups are involved in research on olefin polymerization using single-site catalysts. The fruits of this research are not yet realized by Indian industry. This workshop will bring to focus the requirement for active research in this area. The proceedings will be brought out in CD format and then published as a special issue to commemorate the workshop. The DST jointly supports this activity. This award provides travel funds for ten American participants at the US-India Workshop: Recent Advances in Organometallic Catalysis and Olefin Polymerization, to be held in Pondicherry, India on December 2003. Professors E. Bryan Coughlin, University of Massachusetts Amherst and G. Sundararajan, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras are the organizers of the workshop on this important topic in the area of catalysis chemistry and polymer synthesis. The US delegates are a high-powered team recognized for research related interactions between academia and industry and they will ensure the success of the workshop. The Indian participants represent a broad range of interests from academia, industry, and government. The composition of US and Indian scientists at this workshop is likely to initiate new collaborative activities. The US PI is a very promising young investigator with significant industrial experience and commendable outreach activities; the US delegation includes younger scientists and representatives of underrepresented groups. This workshop will be supported by the Government of India's Department of Science & Technology (DST).
