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公司 标题：SusChEM：美国/印度化学工程会议和能源、环境和可持续发展研讨会美印化学工程会议和能源、环境和可持续发展研讨会的主要目标环境与可持续发展将于2013年12月27日至30日在印度孟买举行，旨在促进学术界、来自印度和美国的行业和政府就能源、环境和可持续发展等前沿话题进行交流。能源对世界经济的所有部门都很重要。 在全球能源需求不断增长的情况下，对原油供应迅速耗尽的担忧刺激了旨在开发可持续且负担得起的替代能源的研究和开发。鉴于能源为创造就业机会和促进全球贸易的企业和行业提供动力，上述能源挑战是美国和印度政府战略科技举措中的首要任务。作为证据，两国政府每年在能源相关研发上投资数十亿美元。拟议的联席会议将重点讨论传统、非传统和未来能源、环境和可持续发展问题，包括（1）石油和天然气、石油； （二）煤炭； (3)生物能源； (4)氢及燃料电池； (5)太阳能； (7) 风能、地热能，(8) 水资源，以及 (9) 生命周期分析。每个专题领域都会邀请两国专家进行讲座。 具体来说，会议将为两国学术界、工业界和政府的科学家和工程师提供一个独特的论坛，讨论以下方面：（i）国际社会面临的许多与能源相关的重大挑战，包括经济和社会政治问题； (ii) 学术界、工业界和政府实验室正在进行的与能源相关的研究活动，以及 (iii) 特别是在研讨会上，讨论旨在发展互利合作的未来研究需求。会议参与者将受益于最新进展顶尖专家的艺术评论和演讲，交流能源、环境和可持续发展等前沿研究课题的最新进展，并与同行辩论有争议的观点。 此次会议将为来自印度和美国的学术界、工业界和政府研究人员提供一个绝佳的互动与合作机会。旅行基金的颁发预计将吸引年轻的研究人员，他们有机会相互交流以及与经验丰富的研究人员交流在该领域，这将对他们的职业发展产生积极影响。通过强调21世纪最关心的能源、环境和可持续发展问题，联席会议和研讨会传播的知识将使整个社会受益。我们期望讲座和拟议的研讨会将激发对这些重要主题的许多合作研究。由此产生的研究和开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。
