World Congress of Chemical Engineering, Barcelona 2017

该基金将为美国学术研究人员参加2017年10月1日至5日在西班牙巴塞罗那举行的第十届世界化学工程大会（WCCE）提供差旅支持。WCCE将涵盖化学工程领域的主要研究课题，参与者来自70多个国家。会议将讨论可能给社会带来重大利益的全球性挑战。预计约有15名青年研究人员将获得参加本次会议的部分旅费支持。第十届世界化学工程大会的主要议题包括：教育、单元操作与分离过程、化学反应工程、过程系统工程、产品工程与先进材料、应用生物技术、环境与可持续化学工程。此外，本次世界化学工程大会的独特之处在于，它将与其他一些主要会议一起举行，包括欧洲计算机辅助过程工程研讨会、国际过程强化会议、国际可持续性科学与工程大会、过程安全研讨会、欧洲应用生物技术大会。此外，还将举行两场关于未来国际教育和研究趋势的会议。获得这项资助的美国会议参与者将有机会与来自世界各地的主要研究人员建立联系，并就研究和教育的现状和未来方向交换意见。他们将受益于顶尖专家的最新评论和演讲，以及与同行辩论有争议的观点。会议还将为产业界和学术界的研究人员提供互动与合作的机会。

This grant is to provide travel support for US-based academic researchers to attend the 10th World Congress of Chemical Engineering (WCCE) in Barcelona, Spain, on October 1-5, 2017. The WCCE will cover the major current research topics in the field of chemical engineering with participants from over 70 countries. The conference will address global challenges with potentially significant benefits to society. It is anticipated that approximately 15 young researchers will receive partial travel support to attend this conference. The main topics of the 10th World Congress of Chemical Engineering include: Education, Unit Operations and Separation Processes, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Process Systems Engineering, Product Engineering and Advanced Materials, Applied Biotechnology, and Environmental and Sustainable Chemical Engineering. Furthermore, the unique feature of this World Congress of Chemical Engineering is that it will take place together with a number of other major meetings, including European Symposium of Computer-Aided Process Engineering, International Process Intensification Conference, International Congress on Sustainability Science and Engineering, Process Safety Symposium, European Congress of Applied Biotechnology. In addition, there will be two sessions on future international trends in education and research. The US-based conference participants supported by this grant will have the opportunity to network with leading researchers from around the world and exchange ideas about the current status and future directions in research and education. They will benefit from state-of-the-art reviews and presentations by leading experts and by debating controversial points with their peers. The meeting will also provide an opportunity for interaction and cooperation among industrial and academic researchers.
