This award by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic and Synthetic Organic Chemistry programs supports travel to an international workshop on "The Synthesis of Complex Chemical Systems," which is organized by Prof. Timothy Swager of MIT and Prof. Jeffrey Moore of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK will supply all local accommodations. This workshop will emphasize tailoring molecules to achieve specified organizations and desired functions. The workshop will focus on challenging and contemporary research in the design, preparation and characterization of well-defined molecular systems that can be considered complex because of their size, three-dimensional arrangement of atoms, high degree of functionality, or the collection of constituents that self-organize into multi-molecular assemblies. Dr. Jason Green (EPSRC) and Dr. Alejandra Palermo (Royal Society of Chemistry) will both serve as the U.K. governmental organizers and Professor Lesley Yellowlees from the University of Edinburgh has been designated as the UK academic chair for the meetings. The conference is scheduled to extend from Sunday evening, March 19, 2006 through Tuesday, March 21, 2006 at Eynsham Hall in Oxfordshire (UK). The workshop aims to expose younger chemists to the broader community of international scholarship and to build long-term bridges for productive international collaboration, cultural understanding, and knowledge exchange. The workshop is expected to provide a forum for the exchange of research ideas, accomplishments and common problems among the group of chemists. The format of the workshop, chalk talks with open discussions, has been proven to be both stimulating and conductive to free-flowing exchange of ideas for all the participants. The setting and the proposed tentative schedule are designed to encourage formal and informal discussion that will allow participants to become well acquainted with one another. All the U.S. participants, with one exception, are within eight years of their independent careers and have made significant contributions to this field. The participants are evenly drawn from organic and inorganic backgrounds geographically from across the United States.

该奖项由无机、生物无机、有机金属和合成有机化学项目颁发，支持前往参加“复杂化学系统的合成”国际研讨会，该研讨会由麻省理工学院的 Timothy Swager 教授和伊利诺伊大学的 Jeffrey Moore 教授组织在厄巴纳-香槟分校。 英国工程与物理科学研究委员会（EPSRC）将提供当地的所有住宿。本次研讨会将强调定制分子以实现特定的组织和所需的功能。研讨会将重点关注明确分子系统的设计、制备和表征方面具有挑战性的当代研究，这些分子系统因其尺寸、原子的三维排列、高度的功能或成分的集合而被认为是复杂的。自组织成多分子组装体。 Jason Green 博士（EPSRC）和 Alejandra Palermo 博士（英国皇家化学会）将担任英国政府组织者，爱丁堡大学的 Lesley Yellowlees 教授被指定为会议的英国学术主席。会议定于2006年3月19日星期日晚上至2006年3月21日星期二在牛津郡（英国）的Eynsham Hall举行。该研讨会旨在让年轻化学家接触更广泛的国际学术界，并为富有成效的国际合作、文化理解和知识交流建立长期桥梁。该研讨会预计将为化学家们提供一个交流研究想法、成果和常见问题的论坛。事实证明，研讨会的形式是粉笔演讲和公开讨论，既能激发参与者的兴趣，又能促进所有参与者自由交流想法。这一设置和拟议的暂定时间表旨在鼓励正式和非正式的讨论，使参与者能够相互熟悉。除一名例外外，所有美国参与者均在其独立职业生涯八年内，并为这一领域做出了重大贡献。参与者均匀地来自美国各地的有机和无机背景。
