Support for "Green Chemistry" Symposium at Pacifichem 2005; December 15-20, 2005; Honolulu, HI

有了这个奖项，有机和高分子化学计划支持绿色化学过程的研讨会。由Dennis P. Curran教授（匹兹堡大学）、霍华德·阿尔珀教授（渥太华大学）、Junzo Otera教授（冈山大学主席）和Chris Strauss教授（CSIRO和莫纳什大学）组织的为期一天半的研讨会将于2005年12月15日至20日在夏威夷檀香山与Pacifichem会议联合举行。绿色化学过程研讨会的前提是，化学应该是“良性的设计”，良性的化学过程始于有效的化学反应。绿色化学过程研讨会旨在提供一个引人注目的机会，广泛模拟关键化学界对可持续化学发展领域的力量、潜力和未来方向的思考和讨论。研讨会有十八位不同的发言人，他们跨越了该领域的范围，代表了所有主要的太平洋沿岸国家。研讨会的与会者将从这一快速发展的领域的思想领袖那里获得集中的前沿概念和研究成果，为他们提供知识和工具，以便开始将关键思想和原则纳入自己的研究。Pacifichem会议是这次专题讨论会的一个独特场所，汇集了来自发达国家和发展中国家的众多化学家。

With this award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program is supporting a symposium on Green Chemistry Processes. The 1.5 day symposium, organized by Professors Dennis P. Curran (University of Pittsburgh), Howard Alper (University of Ottawa), Junzo Otera (chair, Okayama University), and Chris Strauss (CSIRO and Monash University), will take place in association with the Pacifichem meeting in Honolulu, HI, Dec 15-20, 2005. The premise of the symposium on Green Chemical Processes is that chemistry should be "benign by design" and that benign chemical processes start with efficient chemical reactions. The emphasis is squarely on two areas of high recent innovation and development: new chemical reactions and new chemical technologies.The symposium on Green Chemical Processes is meant to provide a compelling opportunity to broadly simulate thinking and discussion in critical chemical circles about the power, potential and future directions of the field of sustainable chemical development. The symposium features eighteen diverse speakers that span the range of the field and represent all major Pacific rim countries. Participants in the symposium will receive a concentrated dose of cutting edge concepts and research results from the thought leaders of this rapidly advancing field, providing them with the knowledge and tools to begin to incorporate key ideas and principles into their own research. The Pacifichem meeting represents a unique venue for this symposium, bringing together a large number of chemists from a remarkably broad range of countries, both developed and developing.
