Travel Award Program for Young Scientists to Attend 25th International Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering (ISCRE-25), to be held in Florence, Italy May 20-23 2018.

CBET-1831107 PI：Benjamin A.该基金将为20名美国青年科学家提供部分差旅支持，以参加将于2018年5月20日至23日在意大利佛罗伦萨举行的第25届化学反应工程国际研讨会（ISCRE-25）。这个两年一度的国际研讨会重点关注化学反应工程（CRE）的前沿，并为反应工程界的国际网络提供了机会。CRE是将化学反应器性能与操作条件和进料变量相关的传输现象和反应速率的相互作用量化的学科。ISCRE-25的组织委员会在化学反应工程方面具有广泛的技能，将举办一次充满活力和多样化的国际专题讨论会。根据以往会议的数据，预计将有200多名与会者参加。ISCRE-25由15名欧洲教师和行业从业者组成的团队组织，由横跨美洲，欧洲和亚洲的CRE社区的32名主要成员组成的国际科学委员会提供支持。会议将包括6个邀请的全体演讲，12个主题演讲，精选的演讲和海报会议。会议的重点领域是：1.化学动力学，2。化学反应工程与设计进展。3.化学反应工程的多尺度方法。4.化学反应工程中的新材料。与会者将受益于领先专家的最先进的评论和演讲，交流前沿研究课题的最新进展，并与CRE学科的同行讨论有争议的问题。会议还将为工业和学术研究人员之间的互动与合作提供机会。旅费和注册补贴的发放预计将吸引美国的年轻科学家参加会议，否则他们可能无法参加。参与者将有机会相互交流，并与该领域经验丰富的研究人员进行交流，这可能会对他们的专业发展产生积极影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

CBET-1831107PI: Benjamin A. WilhiteThis grant will provide partial travel support for twenty US-based young scientists to attend the 25th International Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering (ISCRE-25), to be held in Florence, Italy May 20-23 2018. This biennial international symposium focuses on the frontiers of Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) and provides an opportunity for international networking in the reaction engineering community. CRE is the discipline that quantifies the interactions of transport phenomena and reaction rates in relating chemical reactor performance to operating conditions and feed variables. The organizing committee of ISCRE-25 has a broad range of skills in chemical reaction engineering and will provide for a vibrant and diverse international symposium. It is anticipated that more than 200 attendees will participate based on data from previous conferences. ISCRE-25 is organized by a team of 15 European faculty and industry practitioners, supported by an international scientific committee of 32 leading members of the CRE community spanning the Americas, Europe and Asia. The Conference will include 6 invited plenary lectures, 12 keynote lectures, selected lecture presentations, and poster sessions. The focus areas of the Conference are: 1. Chemical Kinetics, 2. Advances in Chemical Reaction Engineering and Design. 3. Multiscale Approaches to Chemical Reaction Engineering. 4. Novel Materials in Chemical Reaction Engineering. The meeting participants will benefit from state-of-the-art reviews and presentations by leading experts, by exchanging the latest advances on frontier research subjects, and by debating controversial points with their peers in the CRE discipline. The meeting will also provide an opportunity for interaction and cooperation among industrial and academic researchers. The award of travel funds and registration subsidy is expected to attract young scientists from the US to the meeting that they may otherwise be unable to attend. The participants will have an opportunity to interact with each other and with experienced researchers in the field, which could positively influence their professional development.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
