The 10th USA-China Joint Chemical Engineering Conference, Chengdu, China, May 25-29, 2020

该基金将资助约30名美国研究人员参加2020年5月25日至29日在中国成都举行的第十届美中联合化学工程会议。会议的主题是清洁和可持续能源的化学工程，特别强调的不仅是化学工程师在发展清洁和可持续的化学和能源过程中的作用，而且还将探索发展应对这些巨大挑战所需的基础知识的前沿。这是一个全球关注的重要话题，因此，是PRM计划和CBET的优先研究领域。组委会由具有广泛化学工程技能的杰出研究人员组成，将提供一个充满活力和多样化的氛围，以促进研究和教育方面的思想交流。预计约有35名美国研究人员将获得参加本次会议的部分旅费支持。在全球能源、资源和环境挑战的推动下，第十届中美化学工程联合会议旨在为来自中国、美国和世界各地的科学家、工程师和技术人员提供一个交流化学工程领域最新发展和分享知识的平台。会议的主题是清洁和可持续能源的化学工程，特别强调的不仅是化学工程师在发展清洁和可持续的化学和能源过程中的作用，而且还将探索发展应对这些巨大挑战所需的基础知识的前沿。随着世界范围内，特别是美国和中国令人兴奋的发展，这次会议对所有与会者来说都将是一次令人兴奋的聚会。获得该资助的美国与会者将有机会与来自中国的主要研究人员建立联系，并就研究和教育的当前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。组织者计划特别考虑来自美国大学的年轻或初级教员。妇女和代表性不足的少数民族也将得到特别考虑。会议将讨论可能给社会带来重大利益的全球性挑战。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This grant is to provide travel support for ~30 US-based researchers to attend The 10th USA-China Joint Chemical Engineering Conference, Chengdu, China, May 25-29, 2020. The theme of the conference is Chemical Engineering for Clean and Sustainable Energy and a special emphasis will be placed on not only the role of chemical engineers in the development of clean and sustainable chemical and energy processes, but also exploring the frontiers for developing fundamentals needed to tackle these enormous challenges. This is an important topic of global interest and, as such, a priority area of research for the PRM program and CBET. The organizing committee, which consists of distinguished researchers with a broad range of skills in chemical engineering, will provide for a vibrant and diverse atmosphere that will foster exchange of ideas on research and education. It is anticipated that approximately 35 US-based researchers will receive partial travel support to attend this conference. Motivated by the global challenges in energy, resources, and the environment, the 10th USA-China Joint Conference of Chemical Engineering aims to serve as a platform for scientists, engineers and technologists from China, the US and around the world to communicate the latest developments and share knowledge across the field of Chemical Engineering. The theme of the conference is Chemical Engineering for Clean and Sustainable Energy and a special emphasis will be placed on not only the role of chemical engineers in the development of clean and sustainable chemical and energy processes, but also exploring the frontiers for developing fundamentals needed to tackle these enormous challenges. With all the exciting developments taking place worldwide and particularly in the US and China, this conference promises to be an exciting gathering for all participants. The US-based conference participants supported by this grant will have the opportunity to network with leading researchers from China and exchange ideas about present 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. The organizers plan to give special consideration to young or junior faculty members from U.S. Universities. Female and under-represented minorities will also receive special consideration. The conference will address global challenges with potentially significant benefits to society.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.
