US-Poland Workshop on Interfacial Phenomena and Advanced Materials

项目编号：CBET- 0741367首席研究员：Keith GubbinsUniversity大学：North Carolina State university标题：团体旅行：“界面现象和先进材料”研讨会，将于2008年6月4日至6日在波兰格但斯克举行本项目为参加为期3天的“界面现象和先进材料”研讨会的美国参与者提供旅行支持，该研讨会将于2008年6月4日至6日在波兰格但斯克举行。研讨会的目的是鼓励美国和波兰在这一领域的研究人员之间更密切的科学联系和长期的研究合作。研讨会将包括15名美国参与者和大约15名来自波兰的参与者，在初级、中期和高级研究人员之间保持平衡，在实验和理论之间，双方有相似或互补的兴趣。此外，来自波兰的这些领域的年轻研究人员将出席会议，发表海报论文，并在整个会议期间与更资深的与会者进行互动。大约三名美国参加者将获得额外的旅费，前往波兰访问一名波兰讲习班参加者，以便发展他们将在讲习班上发起的合作研究项目。知识价值。研讨会的主题将代表软硬材料、生物材料、聚合物、自组装材料、复杂流体、表面科学、胶体、吸附、催化和计算纳米科学等领域的前沿研究。参与者是这些领域的主要研究人员，目的是对这些领域的当前研究进行调查，并探索未来研究合作的富有成效的可能性。更广泛的影响。预计国际讲习班将在与会者之间发起个人和机构合作。2006年6月在波兰波兹南举行的“纳米科学和纳米结构材料”研讨会非常成功，并导致了美国和波兰参与者之间的大量研究联系和合作，预计这次研讨会将在这方面取得同样的成功。大量年轻的波兰研究人员参加研讨会将为美国参与者提供更广阔的波兰这一领域的研究视野，预计这可能会导致这些年轻工作人员将来访问美国实验室。讲习班结束后，美国与会者将访问波兰的其他机构，以更多地了解研究活动，并探讨两国研究合作的进一步可能性。这种研究合作将丰富两国的研究和教育基础设施。

Proposal Number: CBET- 0741367Principal Investigator: Keith GubbinsUniversity: North Carolina State UniversityTitle: Group Travel: Workshop on "Interfacial Phenomena and Advanced Materials", to be held in Gdansk, Poland on June 4-6, 2008This project provides travel support for U.S. participants to attend a 3 day Workshop on "Interfacial Phenomena and Advanced Materials", to be held in Gdansk, Poland on June 4-6, 2008. The purpose of the Workshop is to encourage closer scientific contacts and long term research collaboration between researchers in this area between the U.S. and Poland. The Workshop will involve 15 U.S. participants and approximately 15 from Poland, with a balance between junior, mid-career and senior researchers, and between experiment and theory, with similar or complementary interests on the two sides. In addition, young researchers in these areas from Poland will attend the meeting, present poster papers, and interact with the more senior participants throughout the meeting. Approximately three of the USA participants will be provided additional travel funds to visit a Polish workshop participant in Poland in order to develop the collaborative research projects they will initiate at the workshop.Intellectual merit. The topic of the Workshop will represent cutting edge research in the areas of soft and hard materials, bio-materials, polymers, self-assembled materials, complex fluids, surface science, colloids, adsorption, catalysis, and computational nanoscience. The participants are leading researchers in these areas, and the objective is to provide a survey of current research in these areas and to explore fruitful future possibilities for research collaboration. Broader impact. The international workshop is expected to initiate individual and institutional collaboration among the participants. A previous workshop on "Nanoscience and Nano-Structured Materials" held in Poznan, Poland in June 2006 proved highly successful and led to numerous research contacts and collaborations between U.S. and Polish participants, and it is anticipated that this workshop will be equally successful in this regard. The participation of a substantial number of young Polish researchers at the Workshop will offer the U.S. participants a much broader view of research in this area in Poland, and it is expected that this may lead to future visits to U.S. laboratories by some of these young workers. U.S. participants will visit other institutions in Poland after the Workshop, to learn more about research activities and to explore further possibilities for research cooperation between the two countries. Such research cooperation will enrich the research and education infrastructure of both countries.
