ABSTRACTPI: Bala Subramanian and Dan Luss Institution: University of KansasProposal Number: 0607706Title: Travel Support for Young Researchers to the Second North American Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering (NASCRE-2)Intellectual MeritThe primary goal of the Second North American Symposium on Chemical ReactionEngineering (NASCRE), to be held in Houston, TX, February 4-7, 2007, is to promote interactions between industry and academia on frontier topics in chemical reaction engineering(CRE). The chemical industry faces many challenges in the 21st century, including increasing globalization, societal demands and governmental regulations for higher environmental performance, increased productivity and profitability to maintain global competitiveness, higher consumer expectations for product quality, and the changing work force requirements to meet these challenges. In addition, the challenge will be upon us within the next decade or two to produce fuels and synthetic chemicals from non-crude oil based feedstock(s). The scientific theme for NASCRE-2 "Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE): The NewFrontiers" is aimed at addressing these challenges. NASCRE-2 covers a broad range of topics, from the traditional to newer and emerging fields such as bio-pharmaceutical engineering and fuel cells. To promote a workshop-like environment of open discussion, the organizing committee has adopted a non-traditional conference format. Well-known experts in the field have agreed to serve as session chairs. Seven out of eight plenary speakers are industrial experts who have agreed to review significant advances in their topical area and to point out some of the grand challenges in the field. Additional presentations by leading speakers from industry, academia and governmental funding agencies, followed by a panel discussion and a question and answer session Q&A, will shed new light on the future challenges and opportunities in the profession. The technical program will feature a poster-intensive format, where each author will briefly present the work (what, how and why in six minutes) in a preview session and then later be available for discussion in a typical poster session. Each poster session will be followed by a sectional Q&A to wrap up the discussion. These funds are to subsidize conference registration and travel costs for young researchers (students, post doctoral associates and assistant professors).Broader ImpactThe NASCRE-2 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 provide an excellent opportunity for interaction and cooperation among industrial and academic researchers, from various countries around the world. The award of travel funds and registration subsidy are expected to attract many graduate students, including women and minorities, to the meeting that they may otherwise be unable to attend. The students and other young researchers will have an opportunity to interact with each other and with experienced researchers in the field, which will positively influence their professional development. By placing emphasis on problems that have a strong economic and technological impact, such as the development of fuel cells and biotechnology, the knowledge disseminated in NASCRE-2 will benefit the society at large. It is expected that the plenary lectures and the oral/poster presentations will stimulate many follow up investigations on these important topics. The resulting research and development activities will generate new technologies and materials that could enhance the US economy.

摘要PI：Bala Subramanian 和 Dan Luss 机构：堪萨斯大学提案编号：0607706 标题：为年轻研究人员参加第二届北美化学反应工程研讨会 (NASCRE-2) 提供差旅支持智力优势第二届北美化学反应工程研讨会的主要目标 ( NASCRE）将于 2007 年 2 月 4 日至 7 日在德克萨斯州休斯顿举行促进化学反应工程（CRE）前沿课题的产学界互动。 化学工业在 21 世纪面临着许多挑战，包括日益全球化、社会需求和政府对更高环境绩效的要求和政府法规、提高生产力和盈利能力以保持全球竞争力、消费者对产品质量的更高期望以及满足这些要求而不断变化的劳动力要求。挑战。 此外，我们将在未来一两年内面临利用非原油原料生产燃料和合成化学品的挑战。 NASCRE-2 的科学主题“化学反应工程（CRE）：新前沿”旨在应对这些挑战。 NSCRE-2 涵盖广泛的主题，从传统领域到生物制药工程和燃料电池等新兴领域。 为了营造类似研讨会的公开讨论环境，组委会采用了非传统的会议形式。 该领域的知名专家已同意担任会议主席。 八名全体发言者中有七名是行业专家，他们同意回顾其主题领域的重大进展，并指出该领域的一些重大挑战。 来自工业界、学术界和政府资助机构的主要演讲者的其他演讲，以及随后的小组讨论和问答环节，将为该行业未来的挑战和机遇提供新的视角。该技术计划将以海报密集的形式为特色，每位作者将在预览会议中简要介绍自己的作品（六分钟内的内容、方式和原因），然后在典型的海报会议中进行讨论。 每个海报会议之后都会有一个部分问答来结束讨论。 这些资金用于补贴年轻研究人员（学生、博士后助理和助理教授）的会议注册和差旅费用。 更广泛的影响NASCRE-2 参与者将受益于顶尖专家的最先进的评论和演讲，通过交流前沿研究课题的最新进展，并与 CRE 学科的同行辩论有争议的观点。 此次会议将为来自世界各国的工业和学术研究人员提供互动与合作的绝佳机会。 旅行资金和注册补贴的发放预计将吸引许多研究生，包括女性和少数族裔，参加原本无法参加的会议。 学生和其他年轻研究人员将有机会相互交流以及与该领域经验丰富的研究人员互动，这将对他们的专业发展产生积极影响。 通过重点关注具有强大经济和技术影响的问题，例如燃料电池和生物技术的发展，NASCRE-2 传播的知识将使整个社会受益。预计全体演讲和口头/海报展示将激发对这些重要主题的许多后续研究。 由此产生的研发活动将产生可以增强美国经济的新技术和新材料。
