Support for Student and Invited Speakers to participate in the 87th ACS Colloid and Surface Science Symposium at UCR, June 23-26, 2013

第87届ACS胶体与表面科学研讨会将于2013年6月24-26日在加州大学河滨分校（UCR）举行。资金部分用于支付邀请演讲者和参加研讨会的学生的相关费用。本次研讨会可能是胶体和界面科学领域最重要和最广泛的年度会议。最终项目有364份摘要提交，其中280份为口头报告，84份为海报报告。UCR的夏季研讨会将为交流胶体和表面科学的基本新见解提供一个论坛，特别强调在环境，生物，医学和材料应用方面的进展。由于其范围广泛，本次会议吸引了来自不同学科（如化学、化学工程、材料科学和物理等）以及几乎所有主要美国学术机构和许多领先的国际机构的参与者。来自理论、计算和实验小组的贡献，以及来自工业、政府和学术界等所有部门的科学家和工程师的参与，进一步体现了参与者和会谈的多样性。来自美国国家科学基金会的部分资金不仅用于支持主要研究人员和领导者的参与，而且还用于支持美国本科生和研究生的多样化，他们是这些学科的未来领导者。本次研讨会是美国胶体科学与工程界最重要的年度盛会。运用基本原理在医学、国防、环境保护和恢复等许多领域推动创新解决方案的创新者。该活动将该领域公认的领导者与崭露头角的科学家和工程师聚集在一个可以分享和探索新想法的环境中。

1342029PI: WalkerThe workshop being supported is the 87th ACS Colloid and Surface Science Symposium at the University of California, Riverside (UCR), June 24-26, 2013. Funding partially cover costs associated with invited speakers and students attending the Symposium. This Symposium is perhaps the most important and extensive annual conference in the areas of colloid and interfacial sciences. The final program has 364 abstract submissions, accounting for 280 oral presentations and 84 poster presentations. The summer symposium at UCR will provide a forum for communicating fundamentally new insights into colloidal and surface science with particular emphasis on advances in environmental, biological, medical, and material applications. Due to its broad scope, this meeting attracts participants from diverse disciplines (e.g. Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, and Physics, among many others) and nearly all major US academic institutions and many leading international institutions. The diversity of the participants and the talks is further represented by contributions from theoretical, computational, and experimental groups and the participation of scientists and engineers from all sectors including industry, government, and academia. Funds from the NSF are being used to partially support the participation of not only premier researchers and leaders, but also a diverse pool of U.S. undergraduate and graduate students who are the future leaders in these disciplines. This Symposium is the most important annual event for the colloid science and engineering community in the US ? innovators who use fundamental principles to drive innovative solutions in medicine, defense, and environmental preservation and restoration, among many other fields. The event brings together acknowledged leaders in the field with up-and-coming scientists and engineers in an environment where new ideas can be shared and explored.
