Bilateral U.S. - U.K. NSF/EPSRC Workshop "The Synthesis of Complex Chemical Systems"; March 16-18, 2005; Dedham, MA

有了这个奖项，有机和大分子化学项目和无机、生物无机和有机金属化学项目共同支持由伊利诺伊大学化学系的Jeffrey S. Moore博士和麻省理工学院化学系的Timothy Swager博士组织的关于“复杂化学系统的合成”的双边NSF/EPSRC研讨会。本次研讨会将聚焦于具有挑战性的、当代的、定义明确的分子系统的设计、制备和表征方面的研究，这些系统可以被认为是复杂的，因为它们的大小、原子的三维排列、高度的功能或自组织成多分子组装的成分的集合。Jason Green博士（工程与物理科学研究委员会，EPSRC）和Alejandra Palermo博士（皇家化学学会）都将担任英国的组织者。研讨会定于2005年3月16日（周三）晚至2005年3月18日（周五）在马萨诸塞州戴德姆的恩迪科特大厦（麻省理工学院所有）举行。该研讨会旨在使年轻的化学家接触到更广泛的国际学术社区，并为富有成效的国际合作和知识交流建立长期的桥梁。本次研讨会旨在为化学家们提供一个交流研究思想、成果和共同问题的论坛。会议的设置和拟议的日程安排旨在鼓励正式和非正式的讨论，使与会者彼此熟悉。所有美国参与者都是在独立职业生涯的七年内，并在该领域做出了重大贡献。参与者平均来自美国各地的有机和无机背景。

With this award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program and the Inorganic, Bioinorganc and Organometallic Chemistry Program are co-supporting a bilateral NSF/EPSRC Workshop on "The Synthesis of Complex Chemical Systems" organized by Dr. Jeffrey S. Moore of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois and Dr. Timothy Swager of the Department of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The proposed workshop will focus on challenging and contemporary research in the design, preparation and characterization of well-defined molecular systems that can be considered complex because of their size, three-dimensional arrangement of atoms, high degree of functionality, or the collection of constituents that self-organize into multimolecular assemblies. Dr. Jason Green (Engineering and Physical Science Research Council, EPSRC) and Dr. Alejandra Palermo (Royal Society of Chemistry) will both serve as the U.K. organizers. The Workshop is scheduled to extend from Wednesday evening, March 16, 2005 through Friday, March 18, 2005 at the Endicott House (owned by MIT) in Dedham, MA.The workshop aims to expose younger chemists to the broader community of international scholarship and to build long-term bridges for productive international collaboration and knowledge exchange. The workshop is expected to provide a forum for the exchange of research ideas, accomplishments and common problems among the group of chemists. The setting and the proposed schedule are designed to encourage formal and informal discussion that will allow participants to become well acquainted with one another. All the U.S. participants are within seven years of their independent careers and have made significant contributions to this field. The participants are evenly drawn from organic and inorganic backgroundsgeographically from across the United States.
