2012 Green Chemistry GRC/GRS

该奖项由NSF化学部和化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统部颁发，用于支持将在意大利巴尔加举行的2012年绿色化学戈登研究研讨会（GRS; 2012年7月21日至22日）和2012年绿色化学戈登研究会议（GRC; 2012年7月22日至27日）。这些会议将汇集一批杰出和多样化的科学家，他们将介绍他们的最新研究和与可持续化学和化学加工相关的最重要进展。绿色化学GRC/GRS侧重于设计化学产品和工艺所需的尖端发展，这些产品和工艺在制造和使用中对环境的影响较小;以节能方式生产，内在危害最小;并为人类健康和环境的固有安全而设计。将讨论创新合成方法、绿色分离和溶剂、可持续能源、消费品中的绿色化学、可再生原料、绿色材料和纳米技术的最新研究，以及绿色化学在应对气候变化和其他环境问题中的作用。一群杰出的特邀演讲者将展示他们未发表的关于设计更绿色的化学品、更绿色的有机合成方法、催化和生物催化、聚合物和材料、生物启发材料、能源和燃料的研究。参加GRS的学生和博士后将有机会在广泛的绿色领域、方法和方法中交流专业知识和想法。此外，GRS的主题演讲将进一步向这些年轻科学家介绍绿色化学和可持续性，并促进他们充分参与GRS之后的GRC。作为一个多学科的展示，这个首屈一指的GRS将汇集一群杰出而多样化的年轻研究人员，推动绿色化学和工程的边界，实现可持续的未来。

This award from the NSF Division of Chemistry and the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems supports the 2012 Green Chemistry Inaugural Gordon Research Seminar (GRS; July 21-22, 2012) and the 2012 Green Chemistry Gordon Research Conference (GRC; July 22-27, 2012) to be held in Barga, Italy. These meetings will bring together an outstanding and diverse group of scientists who will present their latest research and the most important advances relevant to sustainable chemistry and chemical processing. The Green Chemistry GRC/GRS focuses on cutting-edge developments required to design chemical products and processes that: have a smaller environmental impact, both in their manufacture and use; are produced in an energy-efficient manner with the least possible intrinsic hazards; and have been designed for inherent safety for human health and the environment. The latest research in innovative synthetic methods, green separations and solvents, sustainable sources of energy, green chemistry in consumer products, renewable feedstocks, green materials and nanotechnology and the role of green chemistry in addressing climate change and other environmental issues will be discussed. A highly distinguished group of invited speakers will present their unpublished research on designing greener chemicals, greener approaches to organic synthesis, catalysis and biocatalysis, polymers and materials, bio-inspired materials, energy and fuels.The students and postdocs participating in the GRS will have the opportunity to exchange expertise and ideas across a broad range of green areas, approaches and methods. In addition, the keynote talks at the GRS will inform these young scientists further about green chemistry and sustainability, and facilitate their full participation in the GRC that directly follows the GRS. As a multidisciplinary showcase, this premier GRS will be bringing together an outstanding and diverse group of young researchers pushing the boundaries of green chemistry and engineering for a sustainable future.
