7th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference Student Scholarships; June 23-26, 2003; Washington, DC

在过去的几年里，美国化学学会与NSF、EPA和其他联邦资助机构合作，支持一年一度的绿色化学和工程会议。本次会议的主题侧重于设计，开发和实施化学工艺和产品，以减少或消除危险物质的使用和产生，其方式既可行又经济可行。 绿色化学和工程是从源头上防止污染和为长期的全球挑战提供解决方案的重要工具。美国国家科学基金会将为参加2003年6月23日至26日在华盛顿国家科学院举行的第七届年度绿色化学和工程会议的学生提供奖学金。 今年会议的主题是“绿色化学与工程：整合可持续性、安全性和保障性”：将强调绿色化学与工程在实现安全、有保障和可持续的化学工业和社会中的作用。 技术和政策专家将在事故预防、可持续性和化学场所安全的背景下讨论绿色化学和工程。 会议将以全体发言人，来自工业，政府和学术界的专家小组成员以及论文/海报展示为特色。将在替代溶剂、催化、良性合成和加工等领域进行技术讲座。 绿色技术的环境、经济和社会效益将得到解决，特别是当它们与今年的特定主题有关时。来自美国各地的不同学生群体通过NSF资助获得了奖学金，参加这些会议。 超过80%的学生参与了口头或海报展示。 学生有一个很好的机会来了解他们所在领域的最新研究进展，与其他学术，工业和政府研究人员对话，并促进他们在专业协会的参与。

The American Chemical Society has partnered over the past several years with NSF, EPA, and other federal funding agencies to support an annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference. The topic of this meeting focuses on the design, development, and implementation of chemical processes and products that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances in a way that is both feasible and economically viable. Green chemistry and engineering are important tools in preventing pollution at the source and in providing solutions to long-term global challenges.Student scholarships will be provided by this NSF funding for participation in the 7th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering conference on June 23-26, 2003 at the National Academies in Washington, DC. The theme of this year's meeting is "Green Chemistry and Engineering: Integrating Sustainability, Safety, and Security": the role of green chemistry and engineering in achieving a safe, secure, and sustainable chemical industry and society will be emphasized. Technical and policy experts will discuss green chemistry and engineering in the context of accident prevention, sustainability, and chemical site security. The conference will feature plenary speakers, expert panelists from industry, government, and academia, and paper/poster presentations. Technical talks will be given in such areas as alternative solvents, catalysis, and benign synthesis and processing. The environmental, economic, and social benefits of greener technologies will be addressed, particularly as they relate to this year's specific theme.A diverse group of students from geographical locations across the United States has received scholarships through NSF funding to attend these meetings. Over 80% of the students have been involved in oral or poster presentations. Students have an excellent opportunity to learn about the newest research developments in their areas, dialog with other academic, industrial, and governmental researchers, and advance their participation in professional societies.
