Support for the 2005 North American Membrane Society Meeting

摘要提案标题：支持2005年北美膜协会会议提案编号：CTS-0517537主要研究员：约翰佩莱格里诺机构：科罗拉多大学该旅行补助金的目的是为研究生和博士后研究员提供津贴，以在2005年6月的北美膜协会（NAMS）第16届年会上介绍他们的研究。会议将有24个技术会议，涵盖前沿的基础和应用膜科学和技术的频谱。会议将有两个全体讲座和20个主题讲座，把该领域的最新发展带到这次会议。此外，将在会议开始前举办四次技术研讨会。这些研讨会是从领先的学术和工业实践者那里了解膜科学关键领域的基础知识和先进研究课题的有效途径。来自世界各地的膜研究人员代表工业，政府和学术机构将参加。该会议是美国膜科学和技术领域研究人员的主要科学会议。此外，今年的会议将恢复以前关于大学与产业互动的特别会议。这个场地提供了一个机会，就目前的膜科学和技术的研究人员和从业人员之间的优势和劣势进行对话。 该会议已通过一系列传单在全球范围内宣布，并在《膜科学杂志》、北美膜协会的《膜季刊》以及欧洲、日本和韩国的同行上做广告。关于会议的信息也可在互联网上查阅，网址是www.membranes.org。 许多学生以及高级研究人员在海报上展示他们的工作，而本次会议不那么正式的气氛通常会激发学生和该领域领导者之间有意义的讨论。

AbstractProposal Title: Support for the 2005 North American Membrane Society MeetingProposal Number: CTS-0517537Principal Investigator: John PellegrinoInstitution: University of ColoradoThe objective of this travel grant is to provide stipends for graduate students andpostdoctoral fellows to present their research at the 16th Annual Meeting of the North American Membrane Society (NAMS) in June 2005. The meeting will have 24 technical sessions covering the spectrum of leading-edge fundamental and applied membrane science and technology. The meeting will feature two plenary lectures and 20 keynote lectures to bring the latest developments in the field to this meeting. Additionally, four technical workshops will be offered just prior to the beginning of the meeting. These workshops are effective avenues to learn about fundamentals and advanced research topics in key areas of membrane science from leading academic and industrial practitioners. Membrane researchers from all parts of the world representing industry, government and academic facilities will participate. This meeting is the principal scientific meeting for American researchers working in the area of membrane science and technology. In addition, this year's meeting will reinstate a previous special session on University-Industrial Interactions. This venue provides the opportunity for a dialog on the strengths and weaknesses of current membrane science and technology between researchers and practitioners. The meeting has been announced worldwide through a series of fliers, and it is being advertised in the Journal of Membrane Science, the North American Membrane Society's Membrane Quarterly, and their European, Japanese, and Korean counterparts. Information about the meeting is also available on the Internet at www.membranes.org. In terms of the broader impacts, the support will permit students to participate in a national meeting. Many students as well as senior researchers present their work in posters, and the less formal atmosphere of this session typically stimulates meaningful discussions between students and leaders in the field.
