Support for US Participants at the 14th International Congress on Catalysis

CBET-0828158在国际催化界出席人数最多的会议上，感谢国际催化大会。这次会议将介绍过去四年来催化领域的所有实际进展和新认识。这也是讨论催化剂社区内正在进行的或国际合作的最佳场所，包括工业和学术领域。美国科学家的参与对我们在这一领域的知名度至关重要，该领域影响了美国经济的四分之一以上。更广泛的影响这次国际商会会议的一个主要焦点是通过催化手段产生的可再生、可持续能源。许多外国实验室在这些努力中处于领先地位，并将出席这次会议并展示他们的研究成果。与国际商会联合(在此之前或之后)为教职员工或学生举办了几个讲习班和座谈会。这笔赠款将使美国能够参与这些活动。其主要目的之一是支持初级教员参加这一国际协调委员会，以及支持妇女和代表不足的少数族裔候选人。这是这些小组建立国际合作以及了解催化科学和工程的前沿的理想机会。

CBET-0828158ConnerIntellectual Merit The International Congress on Catalysis, ICC, in the most largely attended meeting of the international catalytic community. All the developments both practical and new understand in catalysis over the last four years will be presented at this meeting. This is also the best place to discuss ongoing or international collaborations within the catalytic community, both industrial and academic. Participation by US scientists is crucial to our visibility in this area that impacts over a quarter of the US economy. Broader Impacts A major focus of this ICC meeting is on renewable, sustainable energy sources made by catalytic means. Many foreign laboratories have pioneered in these efforts and will be present and presenting their studies at this meeting. Several workshops and symposia for faculty or students are being held in conjunction (before or after) the ICC. This grant will enable US participation in these. One of the primary purposes is to provide support for junior faculty to participate in this ICC, as well as to support women and underrepresented minority candidates. This is an ideal opportunity for these groups to establish international collaborations as well as to understand the cutting edge of catalytic science and engineering.
