Academic Travel Support for the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) Symposium on Advanced Control of Chemical Processes (ADCHEM) 2003

知识价值：30位美国化学工程教授被推荐参加国际自动控制联合会（IFAC）化学过程高级控制研讨会（ADCHEM 2003）， 2004年1月11日至14日在香港举行的旅行补助金（24,750美元）。每位参加者可获拨款750元，作为部分机票或报名费的支援。过程控制一直是一个基础研究领域，是高效化工加工制造的使能技术。另一方面，化学和材料加工的全球化给美国化学制造商带来了激烈的竞争，以在全球经济环境中胜出。更广泛的影响：该项目的广泛影响是帮助美国院士和研究生参加这次国际会议，促进他们与国际社会的科学和智力交流。预计此次访问将有助于美国学术研究人员和研究生评估世界各地的研究和发展状况，从而更好地定位自己在控制领域。

Intellectual Merit:A travel grant ($24,750) is recommended for 30 U.S. chemical engineering professors to participate in the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) Symposium onAdvanced Control of Chemical Processes (ADCHEM 2003), Jan. 11-14, 2004 in Hong Kong. An allocation of $750 per person will be made for partial airfare or registration fee support.Process control has been a fundamental research area and an enabling technology for efficient chemical processing and manufacturing. On the other hand, the globalization in chemical and material processing has brought fierce competition for the U.S. chemical manufacturers to outperform in the global economic environment. Broader Impact:The broad impact of the project is to help US academicians and graduate students to participate in this international conference to facilitate their scientific and intellectual exchange with the international community. It is expected that the trip will help US academic researchers and graduate students assess the status of research and development around the world and thus better position themselves in the control area.
