PI: Subramaniam, Bala Proposal Number: 1346934 Institution: University of Kansas Center for Research IncTitle: SusChEM: US/India Chemical Engineering Conference and Workshop on Energy, Environment and SustainabilityThe primary goal of The US-India Chemical Engineering Conference and Workshop on Energy, Environment and Sustainability, to be held in Mumbai, India, December 27-30, 2013, is to promote interactions between academia, industry and government from India and the United States on frontier topics in energy, environment and sustainability. Energy is important to all sectors of the world economy. Concerns about rapidly depleting crude oil supplies amidst growing global demand for energy have spurred research and development aimed at developing sustainable and affordable alternate sources of energy. Given that energy powers the businesses and industries that create jobs and enable trade around the world, the aforementioned energy challenges are foremost in the strategic science and technology initiatives of the U.S. and Indian governments. As evidence, both governments are investing billions of dollars annually in energy-related R&D. The proposed joint conference will focus on traditional, non-traditional and future energy, environment and sustainability issues including (1) Oil and Natural Gas, Petroleum; (2) Coal; (3) Bioenergy; (4) Hydrogen & Fuel Cells; (5) Solar Energy; (7) Wind, Geothermal, (8) Water Resources, and (9) Life Cycle Analysis. In each topical area, there will be invited lectures by experts from both countries. Specifically, the conference will provide a unique forum for scientists and engineers in academia, industry and government from both countries to discuss the following aspects: (i) the many energy-related grand challenges facing the global community, including economic and sociopolitical issues; (ii) ongoing energy-related research activities in academia, industry and government laboratories, and (iii) particularly in the Workshop, discussion of future research needs aimed at developing mutually beneficial collaborations.The conference participants will benefit from state-of-the-art reviews and presentations by leading experts, by exchanging the latest advances on frontier research subjects relating to energy, environment and sustainability, and by debating controversial points with their peers. The meeting will provide an excellent opportunity for interaction and cooperation among the academic, industrial and government researchers, from India and the U.S. The award of travel funds are expected to attract young researchers, who 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 related to energy, environment and sustainability, the foremost concerns of the 21st century, the knowledge disseminated in the joint conference and workshop will benefit the society at large. We expect that the lectures and the proposed workshop will stimulate many collaborative investigations on these important topics. The resulting research and development activities will generate new sustainable energy technologies that will enhance the quality of life in society.

PI：Subramaniam，Bala提案编号：1346934机构：堪萨斯大学研究中心Intctitle：Suschem：美国/印度化学工程会议和有关能源，环境和可持续性的能源，环境和可持续性研讨会，美国印度化学工程会议和能源工厂的主要目标，环境和可持续性将于2013年12月27日至30日在印度孟买举行，目的是促进印度和美国在能源，环境和可持续性领域的前沿主题的学术界，工业和政府之间的互动。能源对世界经济的所有部门都很重要。 在不断增长的全球能源需求中，迅速耗尽原油供应的担忧刺激了旨在开发可持续和负担得起的替代能源的研发。鉴于能源为创造就业机会并使世界各地贸易的企业和行业提供动力，因此美国和印度政府的战略科学技术计划中最重要的是，上述能源挑战是最重要的。作为证据，两个政府每年投资数十亿美元与能源有关的研发。拟议的联合会议将重点关注传统，非传统和未来的能源，环境和可持续性问题，包括（1）石油和天然气，石油； （2）煤炭； （3）生物能源； （4）氢和燃料电池； （5）太阳能； （7）风，地热，（8）水资源和（9）生命周期分析。在每个主题领域，两国专家都将邀请演讲。 具体而言，该会议将为来自两国的学术界，工业和政府的科学家和工程师提供一个独特的论坛，以讨论以下方面：（i）全球社区面临的许多与能源有关的巨大挑战，包括经济和社会政治问题； （ii）在学术界，工业和政府实验室以及（iii）尤其是在研讨会上，讨论旨在开发互惠互利合作的未来研究需求的持续与能源有关的研究活动。领先专家的艺术评论和演讲，通过交换有关能源，环境和可持续性有关的边境研究主题的最新进展，并与同龄人辩论有争议的观点。 这次会议将为来自印度和美国的学术，工业和政府研究人员之间的互动与合作提供了绝佳的机会在该领域，这将对他们的专业发展产生积极影响。通过重点关注与能源，环​​境和可持续性有关的问题，这是21世纪最重要的关注点，联合会议和研讨会中传播的知识将使整个社会受益。我们预计讲座和拟议的研讨会将激发许多对这些重要主题的协作调查。由此产生的研发活动将产生新的可持续能源技术，从而提高社会生活质量。
