Travel Support for the 2012 ECI Conference: Water Treatment and Reuse III and the Water Energy Nexus, January 8-13, 2012, Cancun, Mexico

1157131佩莱格里诺申请旅行津贴给总共15-18名参与者，他们包括研究生、博士后研究员、早期职业学者和来自美国的几位受邀演讲者，他们将介绍他们的研究并参加将于2012年1月8-13日在墨西哥坎昆举行的题为“水处理和再利用III及水-能源关系”的工程会议国际会议。会议将举行至少8次技术会议，涵盖应用于水处理的前沿基础和应用分离科学和技术。其中，将有3场会议专门讨论水与能源技术和政策的各个方面之间的关系。会议将包括至少两次全体讲座和~8次主旨演讲(每节课一次)，以扩大与会者对尖端技术障碍和跨学科联系的认识。值得注意的是，这些会议的目的是扰乱与会者的初始观点，并挑战关于未来技术、政策和经济应该如何“连接水和能源”的传统观念。会议联合主席将根据演讲、海报、问答时间和专门的讨论时间编制一份白皮书。这份白皮书的框架将涉及是否需要考虑战略性新举措的问题。例如，将具体讨论关于相对强调新材料科学与传感器和过程工程与制造进步以进行新的单元操作的观点。NSF对会议的支持将产生更广泛的影响，即国际知名和未来研究人员之间的互动。预计将有来自世界各地的100-130名代表工业界、政府和学术界的研究人员出席会议。

1157131 PellegrinoTravel stipends are requested for a total of ~15-18 participants made up of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, early career academics, and a few invited speakers from the United States to present their research and participate in the Engineering Conferences International (ECI) conference entitled "Water treatment and reuse III and the water-energy nexus" to be held January 8-13, 2012 in Cancun, Mexico. The meeting will have at least 8 technical sessions covering the spectrum of leading-edge fundamental and applied separation science and technology as applied to water processes. Among these, there will be 3 sessions dedicated to the nexus between water and all facets of energy technology and policy. The meeting will feature at least two plenary lectures and ~8 keynote lectures (one in each session) to broaden the attendees' awareness of both the cutting edge technical hurdles and the connections across disciplines. It is important to note that the sessions are intended to foment disruption of the attendees' initial perspectives and challenge the conventional notions of how technology, policy, and economics should "connect water and energy" in the future.The meeting co-chairs will produce a white paper based on the presentations, posters, the question and answer periods, and dedicated discussion periods. This white paper will be framed to address the question of whether strategic new initiatives need to be considered. For example, perspectives about the relative emphasis on novel materials science versus sensors and process engineering versus manufacturing advances to make novel unit operations, will specifically be addressed.The broader impacts of the NSF support for the meeting will be the interaction between internationally renowned and up and coming researchers. The anticipated attendance for the meeting is 100-130 researchers from all parts of the world representing industry, government and academia.
