Giorgio CartaInternational Travel: 9th International Conference on Fundamentals of Adsorption, FOA9CTS - 0648823This is an NSF travel grant that supports students, post doctoral fellows and faculty from US academic and nonprofit research institutions to attend the 9th International Conference on Fundamentals of Adsorption Science FAO9 to be held in Giardini Naxos in Sicily, Italy. The FOA conferences were established in 1983 in order to promote international scientific collaborations among adsorption scientists and engineers and the continued advancement of adsorption science and technology. The primary goal and hence intellectual merit of the 9th International Conference on Fundamentals of Adsorption is to allow scientists and engineers from all over the World to present their most recent research efforts in the area of Adsorption Science and Technology and to outline further developments in this area. The conference will allow US participants from academia and industry to interact with their international counterparts and especially to enhance and/or establish international collaborations and scientific exchange with adsorption researchers. The conference will cover a wide variety of adsorption related areas from fundamentals to applications in new and emerging fields including biotechnology, alternative energy, and environmental protection and remediation. The conference will consist of plenary sessions, oral sessions and poster sessions. To set the stage for the conference, plenary speakers will present in depth overviews of key research areas covering fundamentals, materials, molecular modeling, and processes. The conference will last for five and one half days, and host approximately 400 participants from around the world.Only tenure-track faculty members and their graduate students in US educational institutions and researchers in US nonprofit research institutions who will have an oral orposter presentation at the meeting will be eligible to apply for this NSF support. Prioritywill be given to young faculty (who have been in academia for no more than 5 years) andyounger doctoral students who are at least one year away from graduation, with eachapplicant receiving a minimum of $400 up to a maximum of $800. We anticipate makingup to ten $500 awards to young faculty and up to five $600 awards to doctoral students,Any remaining funds will be used to make $400 travel awards to other conferenceparticipants on a need basis. Eligible attendees will be asked to send an application within45 days after the conference to the PI including a letter, co-signed by the Chairperson (orequivalent), requesting partial reimbursement of travel expenses and stating theireligibility for refund under the NSF regulations and according to the above eligibilitycriteria, an airline ticket receipt, and original boarding passes. The allowance for airtravel will not exceed the cost of a round-trip, economy airfare ticket; and eligibleparticipants from the US will also be informed that they must travel by US-flag carriers,if available. The attendees will be reimbursed within 90 days after the conference.The broader impacts of FOA9 are mainly associated with the potential technologicaladvances in energy, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications madepossible by sharing new adsorption-related scientific information at the highest level.Additional broader impacts will be associated with the participation of young faculty anddoctoral students facilitated by the proposed travel funds, and their exposure to thefrontiers of adsorption science and technology in a truly interdisciplinary andinternational scientific gathering.

Giorgio Carta国际旅行：第九届吸附基础国际会议，FOA9CTS - 0648823这是一项 NSF 旅行补助金，支持来自美国学术和非营利研究机构的学生、博士后研究员和教师参加第九届吸附科学基础国际会议 FAO9在意大利西西里岛贾迪尼纳克索斯举行。 FOA会议成立于1983年，旨在促进吸附科学家和工程师之间的国际科学合作以及吸附科学技术的不断进步。第九届吸附基础国际会议的主要目标和智力价值是让来自世界各地的科学家和工程师展示他们在吸附科学和技术领域的最新研究成果，并概述该领域的进一步发展。该会议将使来自学术界和工业界的美国与会者能够与国际同行互动，特别是加强和/或建立与吸附研究人员的国际合作和科学交流。会议将涵盖吸附相关的各个领域，从基础到新兴领域的应用，包括生物技术、替代能源、环境保护和修复。会议将由全体会议、口头会议和墙报会议组成。为了为会议奠定基础，全体演讲者将深入概述基础、材料、分子建模和工艺等关键研究领域。会议将持续五天半，将接待来自世界各地的约 400 名与会者。只有美国教育机构的终身教授及其研究生以及美国非营利研究机构的研究人员将在会议将有资格申请 NSF 支持。将优先考虑年轻教师（在学术界工作不超过5年）和距离毕业至少一年的年轻博士生，每位申请人可获得最低400美元至最高800美元的资助。我们预计向年轻教师提供最多 10 个 500 美元的奖励，向博士生提供最多 5 个 600 美元的奖励，任何剩余资金将用于根据需要向其他会议参与者提供 400 美元的旅行奖励。符合资格的与会者将被要求在会议结束后 45 天内向 PI 发送一份申请，其中包括一封由主席联名签署的信函（或同等文件），要求报销部分差旅费，并说明他们根据 NSF 规定和根据上述资格标准、机票收据和登机牌原件。航空旅行津贴不会超过往返经济机票的费用；来自美国的符合资格的参与者还将被告知，他们必须乘坐悬挂美国国旗的航空公司（如果有）出行。与会者将在会议结束后 90 天内获得报销。FOA9 的更广泛影响主要与通过在最高级别共享新的吸附相关科学信息而实现的能源、生物技术、制药和环境应用方面的潜在技术进步有关。影响将与拟议的旅行基金促进的年轻教师和博士生的参与以及他们在真正的跨学科和国际科学聚会中接触吸附科学和技术的前沿有关。
